<div># Van for Ukraine
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nevertheless, we will continue our work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Gabriel Hangel, and I am a board member and treasurer of the Mrija Association, a non-profit association based in Vienna, Austria.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently preparing three connected areas of work for the coming months and 2027:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Labyrinth of Freedom educational tour
</div>
<div>Ukraine Emergency Aid
</div>
<div>Further European tours in 2027
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To carry out all three projects effectively, we need our own reliable van.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Labyrinth of Freedom
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This autumn, we plan to take the Labyrinth of Freedom on tour through:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Saxony-Anhalt
</div>
<div>Berlin
</div>
<div>Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The project is a public educational installation about Russia's war against Ukraine, freedom, democracy, history and disinformation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The exhibition is presented in public spaces and is accompanied by direct conversations with citizens.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2027, we plan further European activities, including projects in:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>France
</div>
<div>Spain
</div>
<div>Italy
</div>
<div>Slovakia
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The van would be used to transport the exhibition and its equipment between cities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. Ukraine Emergency Aid
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The coming winter is expected to be extremely difficult for people in Ukraine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the end of November 2026 until the end of February 2027, we plan to collect donations in Vienna for humanitarian emergency aid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We intend to operate donation stands on:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Friday, Saturday and Sunday
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Initially, the planned locations are Mariahilfer Straße and Vienna city centre.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our weekly aid cycle is straightforward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Friday – Sunday
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We collect donations in Vienna.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Monday
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The collected funds are used to purchase humanitarian relief supplies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Depending on the current needs and available funds, these may include food, hygiene products, medical supplies, generators, winter equipment and other humanitarian goods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tuesday
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The purchased supplies are transported from Vienna to Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goods are then handed over to our designated partners for further distribution to people in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wednesday – Thursday
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We return to Vienna, document the completed aid delivery and prepare the next collection weekend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then the cycle begins again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where will the aid go?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The primary destination for our planned humanitarian transports is:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Uzhhorod, Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The specific organizations or local partners receiving the supplies will be identified before each delivery and documented as part of our project records.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where possible, we will publish information about the purchased goods, the destination and the handover through our website and social-media channels.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How will the money be used?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The purpose of this campaign is primarily to finance the purchase of a reliable used transport van for the Mrija Association.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The vehicle will be used for:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>transporting humanitarian relief supplies to Ukraine,
</div>
<div>collecting donated goods,
</div>
<div>transporting equipment,
</div>
<div>transporting volunteers and project materials where appropriate,
</div>
<div>transporting the Labyrinth of Freedom between European locations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised through this campaign will not be used for personal consumption or private purposes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The vehicle will remain an asset of the Mrija Association and will be used for its non-profit activities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If funds exceed the amount required to purchase a suitable vehicle, the remaining funds will be used for the vehicle's necessary preparation and operation or for the humanitarian and non-profit activities described in this campaign, in accordance with the Association's rules and applicable law.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ What about donations already collected?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have already received donations from supporters for our work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would like to ask those supporters for permission to use the donations collected so far towards the purchase of the van.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe this is a responsible use of these funds because the vehicle will provide long-term logistical capacity for our humanitarian work and our non-profit projects.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will communicate this change transparently to existing supporters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Transparency
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We understand that donors want to know where their money goes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Therefore, we intend to document the project through:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>purchase records,
</div>
<div>invoices and receipts,
</div>
<div>information about purchased relief supplies,
</div>
<div>transport documentation,
</div>
<div>photographs and videos of deliveries where appropriate,
</div>
<div>reports about humanitarian handovers,
</div>
<div>and regular updates on our website and social-media channels.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our aim is to make the entire process understandable:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donation → Purchase → Transport → Handover → Documentation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why do we need our own van?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A reliable vehicle would allow us to plan our work independently and repeatedly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead of arranging transportation separately for every delivery or project, we would have a permanent logistical resource belonging to the association.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The same vehicle can support our humanitarian activities during the winter and our educational and non-profit projects throughout the rest of the year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This makes the van an investment in the long-term capacity of our organization, rather than a vehicle for a single campaign.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How you can help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to purchase a reliable used transport van suitable for regular long-distance travel and the transportation of humanitarian supplies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can help by:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donating
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sharing this campaign
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Connecting us with companies that may be able to donate or sponsor a vehicle
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Connecting us with organizations that can provide humanitarian supplies
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even a small contribution can help us reach our goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Slava Ukraini!
