Help Rob Elkin and Tom Savage Buy and Drive an Evacuation Vehicle to Ukraine

Weʼre asking for donations to purchase vehicles to be taken to support the war in Ukraine

“I am a car from a British Farm, I was not born for war”

**We're now en route but any money donated will go to additional cars being sent in feb, so please give generously**

In January 2024, a group of entrepreneurs and tech professionals, organised by Ventures Together, will embark on their first convoy this year, 1,318 miles, across Europe over 4 days to Lviv,Ukraine. We will be joining forces with the Driving Ukraine team to transport vehicles that will play a crucial role in saving lives in Ukraine.

Rob and I have joined this inspiring group and need your support to make this happen.

These vehicles, procured through UK auctions and modified by dedicated volunteers, will be placed with essential teams in Ukraine including: Ambulance, 4x4 evacuation, first-aid responders, foreign volunteer medics, and humanitarian bomb disposal, among others.

Our mission is scheduled just prior to the 2-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The urgent need for assistance in Ukraine is undeniable, especially when the international community's attention is distracted. The longer this invasion persists, the more challenging it becomes for Ukraine.

The toll of this conflict is staggering, with tens of thousands of civilians killed, countless more injured, and hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure damage. Ukraine faces the largest displacement crisis in Europe since World War II, with 6.2 million Ukrainians forced into becoming refugees. Nearly half of Ukraine's population, 18 million people, require humanitarian aid.

We request your support in funding the purchase and modification of these vehicles, acquired through second-hand auctions and tailored for their life-saving missions. Money raised over our goal will go to future convoys that the Venture Together and the Driving Ukraine team are already planning for 2024. Anyone and everyone is welcome to get involved with us in 2024, just get in touch with us personally or www.DrivingUkraine.org. For large donations, please contact us directly.

It's important to note that each of our drivers is personally covering their own transportation and fuel expenses

The Driving Ukraine team has already completed 18 successful missions in delivering these vehicles.

We express our heartfelt gratitude for your support, both through sharing our cause and making donations. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Thank you for your generosity!
