Like most of you I was sitting at home in the UK and my son pointed out on tv this awful situation unfolding in Ukraine which was getting worse day by day.

In March I packed my ambulance full of aid and headed off to Ukraine.

When I arrived, I realised the situation was a lot worse. Over 170 days later my team and I are involved in various operations distributing humanitarian aid and assistance to as many civilians, soldiers and animals that we can.

This is no easy task and unfortunately it also comes with a cost! I’m sure you are aware of the constant rising fuel Costs that are being felt everywhere now and this adds just another problem to the help we are giving, which is the transport from the U.K to Ukraine.

We have an amazing network of people in the U.K helping us collect aid, anything from a simple torch right the way through to stretchers for helicopters recently we even moved some lions from Kyiv to Poland that are going back to South Africa to keep them safe, there’s nothing we will refuse to help with.

The main thing we struggle with is the rising costs of logistics.

We have a company willing to collect aid from the U.K on a 22-tonne lorry and deliver to us direct in Ukraine but it comes at a cost which is over £3200 per load! We are working on other solutions.

What we ask of you is to please kindly donate either as a one-off contribution or on a regular basis even as little as £2 per month can make a difference.

We need you to help us keep these lorries flowing and bringing us the items we need to help make everyone’s life in Ukraine a little more bearable.

Please donate today and share with family and friends so we can keep doing what we do and help these people in their most desperate times.

Thank you

Andrew, Jo and the team.

Together we can make a difference.
