Iʼve raised £3,840 to take aid and supplies to Ukraine
- Exmouth, Devon, Uk
- Funded on Thursday, 18th January 2024
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
In October, my friend Martin and I are hoping to drive a van load of aid to Ukraine on behalf of 'For Freedom and Will'.
'For Freedom and Will' - Facebook page
'For Freedom and Will' is a registered Ukrainian charity set up in July 2022 to provide medical and humanitarian aid to communities that have been directly impacted by the war
They have provided a huge amount of valuable support to date, often at high personal risk.
We are keen to help them by taking a 7.5 tonne van of supplies to their distribution point near Kyiv. The supplies have been collected here in the UK, they just need someone to drive them to Ukraine
We estimate it will cost about £5000 to finance the trip, including van hire, insurances, and fuel.
We are able to give our time to make the journey, but we need support in funding it - so any donation, big or small is greatly appreciated. The sooner we raise the funds, the sooner we can make the trip.
Any money we don't spend, or any additional money we raise will go toward future delivery runs.
Many Thanks in advance
Glen & Martin

1 year agoWe did it....we handed over a van full of medical supplies and aid to Ira and her husband Oleg on Wednesday. It is not too late to donate: we are about £200 short of our costs (note: only essential costs are covered by donations - such as fuel, accommodation and food) We are already planning the next trip
