Humanitarian Aid Help for Ukraine

Evacuation Vehicles and Mobile Field Hospitals for the Unit led by Socrates Vol. 4

The officer who goes by the name Socrates worked as a surgeon at a pediatric clinic before the war, but the conflict redirected his life straight towards the front lines. Today, he commands medical units tasked with evacuating and providing emergency treatment to wounded soldiers in the immediate vicinity of the front lines. While on duty, Socrates suffered a collateral hit and was seriously injured, but he was saved by the fact that he happened to be in a vehicle at the time. Despite a serious head injury and several fractures, he returned to the battlefield immediately after recovering. Not even the fact that he has several metal implants in his body has stopped him. Today, he is once again leading his unit. Socrates and his men face daily attacks from Russian drones. These drones pose a major threat, both to human life and to equipment. Together, we’ve already delivered four vehicles to Sokrat, but the need for evacuation vehicles and mobile medical units remains urgent. It’s simple math: more vehicles give Socrates and his units the ability to get more wounded people to safety. Together, we’ll help him do just that!

Who will you help?

Socrates is a doctor, an officer, a scientist, and now also a recipient of the “Honored Doctor of Ukraine” award. We are proud of all the brave men and women we support. However, the award that Socrates recently received from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is something truly extraordinary! All of us who are helping him feel incredibly honored to be able to support him. We send him our heartfelt congratulations!

What exactly will the money from this fundraiser be used for?

Socrates needs to replenish its medical unit with new vehicles. Recent nighttime attacks destroyed several vehicles. There were also physical injuries and trauma. Several people suffered shrapnel wounds. The vehicles’ engines were destroyed. While some have been temporarily repaired and returned to service, replenishing the fleet of evacuation vehicles is once again proving to be an urgent priority. They need to be fast and mobile. In some areas, the enemy is conducting widespread bombing campaigns, destroying all settlements and units, so they must operate with mobile support.

The need for vehicles for medical personnel from Socrates’s unit is urgent and ongoing. We have therefore decided to launch a long-term fundraising campaign to purchase the following:

🚐 RVs ➔ mobile emergency care stations and support facilities for medical units
🚑 4x4 ambulances
🚙 off-road vehicles ➔ evacuation vehicles  
⚙️ costs for vehicle repairs and transportation

Project coordinator Sláva writes:

“I’ve known Socrates and have been helping him for two years now. I first learned about him through the Ukrainian Refugees in the Czech Republic. I was surprised that they weren’t asking for help themselves, but for doctors on the battlefield. After they explained Socrates’s situation to me, I decided to help him. I joined forces with the Czech Volunteer Hub initiative, which organizes projects to help people in extremely difficult situations. Together, we’ve already completed three projects and delivered 4 cars to Socrates. Socrates writes to us from time to time and keeps us updated. Sometimes the news from him is bad; other times, it’s even worse. When my phone beeps, I’m always afraid of what might have happened. But it’s never about requests or urgent matters, which are personally shocking to me, and I can only attribute it to his incredible bravery and moral strength. I’m often amazed at how complex car repairs the guys are able to do on their own under field conditions. They can even offer advice on repairs and electronic diagnostics for the cars we prepare for them. However, even a brief and factual description of the situation instills in me a sense of urgency and sometimes even a feeling of guilt that our help is insufficient. The need for help is so urgent that we can’t even imagine it under our own circumstances
