Goal
Dr. Julia, of the 100th Mechanized Brigade, has been driving in and out of combat in a VW minivan. If the bullet holes dotting her car weren't enough then her heroic actions are. At barely tipping the 5'3" mark, she's known for pulling grown men in full battle rattle to safety. She's done it on bald tires in the winter, and she's done it without brakes (no exaggeration). It's time we got an appropriate vehicle for this legend of woman.
The requirements are simple: High-clearance, 4-wheel drive, diesel engine. For there she says she can work with whatever we can send her.
UPDATE!!!!!!
Everyone, thank you for the OVERWHELMING support!!!! Within 24-hours $10,000 was donated DIRECTLY to our paypal account and we've been shopping for vehicles for Dr. Julia ever since! While that happened, we've kept the donation channel open with the promise that we would spend the rest on medical supplies. Unfortunately last night we woke up to terrible news coming out of the same city Dr. Julia is operating in. You can read it here:
It was already looking like we were going to have a little bit of funds left over from Dr. Julia's 4x4 purchase. We already have a charity working with us to handle the purchase and import paperwork, we already have a driver lined up for a second vehicle, and there is an ambulance near where I'm sitting right NOW that is for sale for 5600 Euro.
There's no way we can let this go unchecked. We would like to officially announce that we are going to attempt to purchase a second vehicle (the ambulance) from this fundraiser and drive it with us when we punch east. Once there, it will be donated directly to the head medic of the 1st and 2nd Battalion.
Thank you all for the HUGE outpouring of support. If we can't get the funds needed, then our original promise holds. We'll fill Dr. Julia's 4x4 with medicine and equipment until it's stacked to the sky.
UPDATE 2!!!!
As of this writing, we have OFFICIALLY purchased the 4x4 for Dr. Julia. A Nissan Pathfinder!
String diesel engine, manual transmission, selectable 4-wheel drive... This thing is going to be a TANK compared to what she's used to driving!
With the funds remaining in this drive's account, we are now $978.63 away from the full purchase price of an ambulance for the head medic of the 1st and 2nd Battalions!
Amazing work everyone!! Let's keep this momentum going!
