Thank you to everyone who contributed! With the first donations we bought 26 first aid kits, which will be on their way to Ukraine soon. We will post an update once they have been delivered. You can still donate. It will not be long before the next transport leaves.
Aid to Ukraine, not yet a foundation at the time, came into being the day after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. It started as a group of friends who wanted to help. Since then, thanks in no small part to the tremendous support of Almeva, supplier of first aid and medical materials and Bas4Cars, The Dutch Land Rover specialist, we have delivered more than 250 vehicles, each carrying as many medical supplies as would fit. The photo above shows a first aid case we brought over in 2023, which can also be seen in a report made by Kysia Hekster for the Dutch public broadcaster NOS.
Aid to Ukraine has already brought more than 250 cars to Ukraine. Over there they are used for things like evacuations and hospital runs. The person who donates a car benefits too. Not only because it helps Ukraine, but financially as well. In this post we explain how that works, using a few examples.
