Help Us Help the People of Ukraine

Help Us Help Ukraine/Last adventure
After long consideration, my best friend and I have decided to travel to Ukraine to aid/render medical care. We are both highly qualified retired Army Special Forces soldiers and medical professionals, Surgical PA and Emergency NP. We are not receiving compensation, but we are asking for donations to defray the cost of travel and equipment. We are hoping to raise $50k. Any remaining funds will be given to the Ukrainian Red Cross. We will be traveling to Warsaw, Poland, on 04/04/2022 with subsequent travel to the Western border of Ukraine. We will make our way East (within Ukraine) to provide medical support en route to Kyiv. While not our primary mission, we are also prepared to provide military assistance and advising should the need exist. While Ukraine has waived its Visa requirements, Poland allows for up to 90 days without Visa, so we’ll only remain in Eastern Europe for approximately 90 days. I will be documenting our mission via social media if/when possible. My mobile carrier Verizon has coverage in most Western Europe; however, in Ukraine is spotty at best. We’ve developed an essential Operations Order, and the full itinerary is available upon request. Our flight from Denver to Warsaw will cost approximately $2493.27, excluding excess baggage fees (medical equipment-M5 bag, military-specific equipment-body armor, ballistic helmet, etc.). PPE is roughly $2500 per person. We will be traveling with $6000 cash ($3000 each). We’ve secured “safe-houses” in Warsaw, Germany, and possibly Croatia. Any donations are highly appreciated as we are not receiving compensation on this mission to aid the People of Ukraine.
