We urgently need a working car!

Ukraine

Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, until mid-October 2024, nearly 6.8 million refugees4 from Ukraine have been recorded – 92 per cent of them in Europe. Inside Ukraine, an estimated 3.6 million people5 remain internally displaced as of October 2024.

Among the most vulnerable are also an estimated 12.6 million as of March 2025 people who were not displaced from their homes but who have been directly affected by the war – they have been wounded, their homes have been destroyed, their family members died.

Civilian infrastructure, such as power grids, water supply networks. hospitals transportation infrastructure, have been targeted by the daily missile attacks, severely disrupting people’s lives across the whole country, and particularly in the East.

About 3 600 educational institutions, including nearly

2 000 schools,

have suffered damage with some 371 educational facilities totally destroyed since the escalation of the war.
There were over

2 100 attacks

on healthcare facilities, which have claimed at least 197 lives, including those of health workers and patients, and injured many more, severely disrupting health services.

We are stuck again! The Ukrainian roads and the nature of our work require the car to be reliable and able to withstand unusual challenges. We have a minibus, and we treat it like a member of the team. We take good care of it, but yesterday it failed once again. 30 m past the border tollgate, on the Polish side, our clutch broke down. We got stuck on the side of the road, relieved that our automotive adventure took place on the Polish side!

We have many plans and new ideas for reaching out to those in need on the other side of the border. We are forming a permanent team of Ukrainian volunteers, which will operate continuously in the border zone on the Ukrainian side. We will reach as far as Lviv. We only need one thing. An efficient car! A tool for special tasks!

Can you help? Maybe we need to quickly raise money for a functional means of transport, or perhaps there is someone who could simply lend us a reliable minibus. We don’t expect anything from a car except the confidence that it will take us safely to our next mission!

GoodWorks 24/7 is our charity shop, the simplest tool to change the world for the better. We are adding a means to help us out with a minibus for the Good Factory, being certain after two weeks that it is a good and indispensable investment.
