There is a critical gap in Western support of Ukrainians seeking safe refuge from war. Few who offer assistance dare go INSIDE Ukraine. Yet the need is huge. Many Ukrainians set out on foot. But that is not possible for the children, the disabled, the sick, the elderly, the weak, and the pregnant. These people are prioritized by Rescue Fleet. At the moment, however, only a fraction of the requests can be fulfilled.
We support leadership by example. Our PSN Germany Partners at Embassy of Dreams are spearheading an initiative to fill the gap. They are providing vehicles for courageous volunteer drivers to pick-up people INSIDE Ukraine and bring them across the Polish border where aid is readily available. They can bring more people with your help. Here’s the brief from EP & Partner, Helmut Hartl:
“We need minibusses with at least 8 seats quickly and easily. That’s why we are currently addressing decision-making entrepreneurs and executives who can take one or more vehicles from their fleet or buy a used one. We film-people know how to make things happen. We are decisive, empathetic, fast, productive and logistically flexible.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
1) Deliver us one or more minibusses from your fleet – for at least two weeks. Or arrange for us to pick it up. We provide guidance on matters like insurance and take care of everything else, including the drivers from Germany or Poland, fuel, and documents.
2) Or buy a used vehicle for this purpose (as above). We provide guidance on matters like insurance and take care of everything else, including the drivers from Germany or Poland, fuel, and documents.
3) Full service: We buy a vehicle with your money, register it on us, and resell it afterward. We only need 4 to 7 days to buy a vehicle and put it on the road.
4) Spread the word.
5) Donate at https://rescuefleet.org
