The appeal for Armoured Medical Evacuation Ambulances – Goal Achieved
Save lives on the frontlines of Ukraine with your valuable donation.
This particular appeal is now closed.
You can still donate, and your donation will go towards medical equipment needed in Ukraine.
Money for Armoured Evacuation Ambulances for Ukraine
This appeal was launched on 11 March 2024, and early on, two private individuals donated 80,000 USD. Since then, more money has been donated by the YouTube communities of Greg Terry, Professor Gerdes and the communities of many other YouTubers involved in this project.
Final Donations Update
As of 20 April 2024, the total donations stand at 262,581.24 USD. The original amount of money money required for this appeal was 200,000 USD. However, upon Greg Terry finding out that there was a further requirement for armoured vehicles, the project was extended to sourcing a further Land Rover Snatch. The total amount of money required was 260,000 USD and donations have surpassed this figure!

Delivery of these armoured evacuation ambulances is urgent
These armoured evacuation ambulances are one of the top requested needs, as communicated to Greg Terry, who at the time was in Ukraine and had spoken to commanders and combat medics about their needs.
This fundraiser was for a total of four Land Rover Snatch vehicles, and once they are in Ukraine, Greg Terry, Zhenia (from a Ukrainian NGO) and another two drivers will personally hand over the ambulances to combat medics at the frontlines. This handover at the frontlines is crucial because it means that medics will not need to travel long distances, which would limit their ability to concentrate on medical work in the combat zones.
Two armoured evacuation ambulances will be handed over to Project Konstantin, a frontline medical evacuation group in eastern Ukraine. A third ambulance will be handed over to the Third Assault Brigade Second Rifle Battalion. A fourth ambulance will be handed over to an unnamed brigade somewhere on the frontline.
The unnamed brigade that will receive the fourth evacuation ambulance, needs to remain unnamed for the time being. This is for operational security reasons. At the moment, this brigade uses two small white ambulances that have no protection against even basic munitions that may target them.
