We are delivering emergency aid to those trapped in Ukraine, who are unable to access basic necessities such as food, water & medicine.

For the last week, we (three British lads) have been bringing aid to vulnerable individuals across Ukraine, and have pioneered new aid routes, direct from Krakow (Poland) to previously unreached (by direct international aid) Ukrainian cities.
We have delivered a variety of items from tinned meat, clothes and water to candles and battery packs - depending on local need - to orphans, the elderly, the disabled and trapped families.
Additionally, we have established contacts locally which allows us to pass through the region to areas not accessible by others to ensure communities that have just been liberated also have access to vital supplies.
We also plan to evacuate civilians who are stranded from areas under imminent attack.
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, local prices have soared, so we require more funding to ensure that we can continue to reach people who currently have no access to shops or supplies - particularly those in rural regions.
Since arriving in Ukraine we have seen absolute devastation with entire civilian communities levelled by the Russian war machine, we have heard ongoing fighting, and stories of how Russian soldiers tortured and killed locals - for no other reason than to demoralise the region in an effort to force them to surrender.
The Ukrainian people are resilient and have a strong sense of community which has helped them survive so far, but if we are to avoid mass deaths as a consequence of malnutrition and starvation we must act now.
Any funds you give will directly be spent on aid - sourced from local businesses - for vulnerable Ukrainian people
