THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY BEING USED TO FUNDRAISE £50,000 TO PROVIDE URGENT, LIFE-SAVING AID INCLUDING EMERGENCY BANDAGES, CHEST SEALS, TRAUMA BLANKETS AND MORE TO BE DELIVERED IN OUR THIRD ANNIVERSARY CONVOY IN FEBRUARY 2025.

PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY!

Medical Life Lines Ukraine has (as of the end of November 2024) delivered 86 aid-filled ambulances to Ukraine alongside 21 generators and one all-terrain rescue crane since Putin's illegal full-blown invasion of Ukraine. This work has undoubtedly saved lives and - perhaps more importantly - shown the people of Ukraine that a huge number of people in the outside world are acutely aware of their plight and keen to help them in whatever way that they can.

Russia has pursued a strategy of relentlessly seeking to degrade Ukraine's ability to generate power - directly impacting Ukraine's civilians who now face a harsh winter in the most challenging conditions. Russia also attacks Ukraine's health infrastructure, further harming Ukraine's civilian population. This winter we aim to deliver a significant number of additional ambulances in convoys leaving in November and February. These will follow in the wake of twelve earlier convoys and demonstrate our continuing desire to stand with Ukraine.

It costs some £15k to buy, recondition and deliver an ambulance to Ukraine and this money is raised by our wonderful volunteer fundraiser-drivers. The piece above from America's CBS network gives some insight into a Sunflower Convoy from 2023.

Any excess funds are used to buy medical and other aid, additional equipment and vehicles needed by the emergency services - maybe even an additional all-terrain rescue crane! We work closely with the health and emergency authorities in Ukraine to identify what is needed so that we can then deliver what people actually need, where they need it.

This includes not only ambulances and medical aid (everything from crutches to defibrillators, bandages to endoscopes) but also clothing and practically anything else that is needed and we can carry. Even dog food!

We - and the people of Ukraine - are hugely grateful to you for your generosity in continuing to help to save lives and send a very significant message of support to the people of Ukraine who are suffering so greatly as a result of Russia's appalling aggression. Thank you.
