Help Me Deliver Life-Saving Aid to Ukraine — One Convoy at a Time
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I’ve dedicated my life to getting critical aid directly into the hands of Ukrainians who need it most. I fund nearly everything myself — but I can’t keep up with the growing need alone. Your support will put life-saving supplies and vehicles on the ground in Ukraine.

Who I Am
My name is David A. Courage, and for more than four years, I’ve been deeply involved in hands-on humanitarian work and advocacy for Ukraine. This isn’t abstract for me — it’s personal, urgent, and something I’m committed to for the long haul.

What I Do
I started by buying tourniquets, splints, medicines, and IFAKs (professional-grade first aid kits). I partnered with Ukrainian expats who hand-delivered these supplies inside Ukraine.
That led me to:
• Local rallies in Boston
• National advocacy with the American Coalition for Ukraine
• Twice-yearly trips to Washington, D.C. to meet with senators and representatives
• Volunteering with UAidDirect USA, a 501(c)(3) shipping medical and humanitarian aid
• Driving vehicles directly into Ukraine with the Jeeps4Peace convoys

Why This Matters
One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was driving a donated vehicle from Scotland to Ukraine — crossing the UK, taking a ferry to the Netherlands, and continuing through Europe and Poland. Jeeps4Peace has delivered over 750 vehicles to Ukraine, and I’ve had the honor of being part of that mission.
Last night, I purchased a plane ticket for my next convoy. It leaves in just a few weeks.

Where Your Donation Goes
Aside from one subsidized flight from a friend, every convoy, every supply purchase, and every advocacy trip has been entirely self-funded.
A single convoy costs:
• £800–£1,000 ($1,055–$1,320 USD) for ferry, hotels, and basic logistics
• Fuel for 1,600+ miles
• Tolls
• Phone SIM or roaming fees
• Travel home from Kraków
The vehicles are donated — but everything else comes out of my pocket.
Your donation will directly support:
• Future Jeeps4Peace convoys
• Humanitarian supplies
• Advocacy work in Washington
• Direct aid delivered inside Ukraine
I am not trying to recoup anything I’ve already spent. Every dollar raised goes toward future missions.

Why I Won’t Stop
My father fought for freedom in WWII and later in the Cold War. He taught me that democracy is worth defending — and that actions speak louder than words.
I’ve crossed borders, driven through the night, and witnessed the unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people. This work is not theoretical. It’s real. It’s urgent. And it saves lives.
