A report from the recent trip to Kup'yans'k front. Our volunteers took the Mitsubishi Pajero SUV we have repaired (see our reports from September 4th when we took it from the front for repairs) and rented a cargo van since we had too much stuff to deliver for one vehicle. The van had a flatbed trailer so we can take another broken down truck from the front for repairs.
The pictures of the convoy were taken at the border of Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk oblasts.
The cargo included:
- 16 camouflage nets (5x6m), 10 are for covering evacuation vehicles of a hospital and 6 for various pickup trucks and equipment.
- 5 repaired power generators (total cost of repairs was about $110)
- clothes for wounded soldiers (t-shirts, pants, socks, etc).
- anti-viral, cold medicines and antibiotics
- frostbite topical ointments
- hand-made trench candles
- 100 large boxes of wet-naps ($100)
The repairs to the SUV included replacing many drivetrain parts, rebuilding the engine, repairs to steering column, electrical and control systems. The total cost of repairs including labor was about $850.
Finally, the fuel for the trip, rent of the van and the trailer cost about $440. We couldn't have been doing this without your support. Thank you to everyone who's donating!
