LA-NY-STOCKHOLM-KYIV EXPRESS (Ukraine Aid)

We are a Sweden and US-based grassroots non-profit initiative focused on bringing humanitarian aid, medical supplies, medical equipment, vehicles and food support to the Ukrainian border, where they are received and distributed to the areas that need them most.

To date, we have delivered over 66 tons of food, and around 20 tons of medical and emergency supplies to those in need.

You can see more information and our current real-time updates on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ukraine.express/

All funds go towards the bulk purchase of medical supplies and equipment, which are acquired in Sweden, Spain, Germany (coordinated with our volunteer Norbert Lindenthal https://www.instagram.com/norbert.lindenthal/), and Poland and transported to the Ukrainian border.

Supply shipments are then received and coordinated within Ukraine by our volunteer Mariana Prytoliuk (https://www.instagram.com/mariana.prytoliuk/ ), who handles distribution, utilizing both Ukraine Post as well as overseeing deliveries personally to non-combat zones around the front, where they are distributed where needed.

Recipients of our aid include:

- Field hospitals across the front line

- Kyiv, Myalkov Hospitals and Fire Departments

- Kharkiv Fire Department

We are making an URGENT FUNDRAISING CALL for TRIP #9 - departing mid-November.

Our previous trips have been incredibly successful, and with your support we have both expanded our fleet of transport vehicles from a single SUV to multiple vans and 4x4s.

However, the war continues, and so do we - and with the approaching winter, conditions are only becoming more challenging.

Big thanks to all of you again for all the support!

Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
