Ukraine shopping list delivery. USA VW Atlas to UA
Donation protected
We have friends in Ukraine, in Lviv, in Solomonovo, who have sent me a list of items that the donation centres and charities that they work have specifically requested, and I plan to buy these items in Germany and get them to them.
100% of funds will go directly to buying items for donation. 0% will be used for our own food, fuel, or anything else.
I've been talking to car enthusiast friends in Ukraine for a while, and via the internet have a list of items from people volunteering in Lviv that their donation centre (located in a church in central Lviv) really needs. These items are then distributed by them locally, and also transported to the east of the country.
The same from the Volkswagen Group assembly plant in Solomonovo, where there are multiple refugee camps, including people literally staying on the factory grounds.
I already have a large (brightly coloured, and admittedly rather fun/silly looking) Volkswagen SUV in Europe, that I transported from the USA for a tour. I've taken it to other factories for visits, and will be attending a large and very fancy car show in Poland - only 5 hours / 300 miles from the Ukraine border. It feels like, when we are that close, and have the ability, that we should help in any way that we can.
If we raise too much for us to spend buying the supplies, I will give 100% of the extra directly to a certified charity in Ukraine that is recommended by the local people I'm working with.
The list from Lviv is currently:
Shampoo (small size)
Soap
Wet Napkins
Tourniquets
Summer Socks
Underwear
T-Shirts
Shorts
Food such as soup and noodles.
I am in direct communication with the VW Group / Eurocar assembly plant who are preparing their list for the family centres there.
The planned shopping days at July 1st, with the items being delivered on July 4th/5th.
