Our new goal is to fund half the cost of an ambulance in the next Might Convoy later this year...
Over the last three weeks, Claire, Vic, Chan, Ginny and Louise (aka Mums4MightyConvoy) have raised nearly £6,400 for an ambulance to donate to Ukraine. (Thank you to everyone who has contributed offline and online via our crowdfunder pages).
To reach our target we now need just £600 more.
Leaving this coming Sunday (June 2nd), Vic and Louise will drive the ambulance, filled with medical aid, to Ukraine.
We are supporting Mighty Convoy, an organisation set up in 2022 by four friends (including convoy leader Simon Brake and our Mums4MightyConvoy team member Louise).
Ambulances are desperately needed.
According to UN statistics, an average of 42 civilians have been killed or wounded every day since the war began. The vast majority are victims of explosive weapons with wide area effects, such as rockets, in territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine, leaving many survivors with life-changing injuries. Military casualties are not published, but send these statistics soaring much higher.
So far 20 ambulances have been delivered to Ukraine, each with a different team of volunteer drivers. Mighty Convoy has a longstanding partnership with the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine (CMAU), who take charge of the ambulances in either Poland or Ukraine and make sure they get where they are needed.
We will use your money wisely.
Mighty Convoy has no paid staff. Everyone involved in this project is a volunteer, including our group of mums, so every penny given will go directly to the cost of buying the ambulance, fuel and insurance etc.
