struggling Ukrainians by getting us back on the road

Hello everyone,

My name is Ian Russell (google Ian Russell Skegness for more info) after being homeless for 3 years i decided to help those also struggling. I've now completed 4 trips into Ukraine with over 20,000kg of supplies for those families, animals and others struggling.

Sadly on our last trip our trusty van died very close to the front line. As wasn't feasible for us to save it there it's now been donated. But this means we need a new van to continue our work.

As you can see from the photos we don't just deliver mountains of aid but we also give gifts to those that have lost everything - Olga (white haired woman in the photo) fled the front line with 1 bag, she had nothing and as she always wanted to be a photographer we decided to buy her a camera (this was actually out of our own money not donations)

Every penny raised goes on aid, when we stop for a coffee or energy drink on the road we use our own money.

I hate asking for help, but hopefully as I have videos from our last trip 10km from the front line we will get a little press attention and I won't have to keep begging friends.

To anyone that can help, honestly thank you.

*due to strict gofundme rules I want to state the first 4k will be used solely for the van, any additional funds will go to pet and refugee supplies and no funding from this project will go to war efforts
