For two years now, we have been intensively going to Ukraine to help the armed forces and ordinary citizens manage the war and defend themselves against Russian tyranny. As in the beginning, our ability to help now stands and falls with the solidarity and help of the Czech nation. With the help of all of us.
We have been helping Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression since its beginning in 2014. We have been bringing material, advisory and analytical aid to Ukraine since the very beginning of the current war. In September 2022, we secured and personally delivered three ambulances, medical devices, stretchers and a lot of medical equipment to the field hospitals along the front line in eastern Ukraine immediately to the combat zone. In 2023, we delivered another 11 civilian ambulances to both civilian hospitals and soldiers. We also delivered 3 armored "Humvee" ambulances, equipped with the necessary medical devices and equipment. According to feedback from Ukrainian army units, these vehicles at the front helped to save many lives. Based on numerous and repeated requests from the defenders of Ukraine, we have now decided to repeat this action.
Who do we help ?
As with the first "Operation Ambulance II (Humvee Ambulance)", our plan now is to raise the necessary funds for at least 3 or more military "Humvees". We will increase their ballistic resistance to these vehicles, equip them with medical devices and equipment so that they can evacuate the wounded from the front for treatment well, quickly and for as long as possible. The speed and timeliness of transporting the wounded from the battle line to treatment in the so-called ROLE 1 (in the most critical phase for the wounded) will maximize their chances of survival and recovery. The reliability, durability and speed of these machines will increase the chance of survival in the immediate vicinity of the front for military medics as well. After modifying the machines, we will personally bring them from the Czech Republic directly to the front line, to field hospitals and units of defenders of Ukraine. This is typical for Team4Ukraine - since the beginning of the war, we have always transported all aid directly to the final destination ourselves, to ensure that everything arrives where it is supposed to, undamaged and in the shortest possible time.
Due to the previous experience and characteristics of the vehicles, our collection will be focused on 3 or more ambulances of the Hummer H1 type (HMMWV) with subsequent modification for the transport of the wounded. The estimated cost of one vehicle after modification is between 1.5 and 2.0 million crowns. We will prepare, equip and send as many vehicles as the proceeds of this collection will allow.

What exactly will the money from this collection be used for?
The entire amount selected will be used to purchase HMMWV ("Humvee") all-terrain vehicles, armor them, equip the vehicles with medical equipment, and deliver them directly to the front line. There we will hand them over to the defenders of Ukraine.
If we cannot raise enough funds for multiple Humvees, or if there are any funds left after preparing the maximum number of vehicles available, we will use them to purchase as much medical supplies and equipment as possible. Again, in our free time and at the association's expense, we will transport this material to Ukraine, where it is most needed
