Update: I will be driving a van again to Kyiv, Ukraine in August 2025, rammed full of rehabilitation equipment. We will be gifting the van and returning by train, personally funding all travel costs.
In May, and October and February 2025, I drove the Mercedes Sprinter vans, full of rehabilitation equipment to Kyiv. The vans were given to the Border Brigade to be used to transport the deceased as well as a general utility vehicle. Please read the narratives of my recent trip to Ukraine: May 2024, October 2024, and February 2025.
The Mercy & Health Foundation, run by Dr Olexsandr Yatsyna (pictured below evacuating children from the recently bombed Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv), are urgently requesting another freezer van as well as funds to buy more rehabilitation equipment.
Therefore, we're looking to raise £13,000 and would be most grateful for any donations.
With an average of 300 people dying or being wounded each day, it's a desperate situation. Ac shocking statictic is that there are now over 41,000 people who have lost limb.
