I’m trading in my scrubs for body armour.

$925 donated
Given by 11 generous donors in 6 weeks

Kiwi nurse to work as medic on Ukraine frontline.

Kawerau, Bay Of Plenty

Kia Ora whānau!

Firstly, there are no words to describe how thankful I am for the huge amount of support and encouragement I have received from the wider community.

I have traded in my scrubs for body armour and will join a small group of international volunteers risking their lives to help civilians along the frontline in Ukraine.

I am volunteering for a small independent operation called Search and Rescue Kharkiv/Donbas. We are located 40kms from the Eastern frontline targeting small, forgotten towns. (I will provide links for more information at the bottom of this article)

Due to many requests, I have set up this give-a-little for whānau around the globe who want to donate ❤️

The aim of this fundraiser is for extra luggage as a result of the generous amounts of donations I have received. Any leftover funds will go onto the mechanical repairs 🚐 and fuel to make all this work happen.

If anyone still would like to donate winter thermals or medical equipment, please contact me via email, smtaylor03@hotmail.com.

Again, there really are no words to express how thankful I am 🥺

Aroha nui whānau,

Shannon Taylor
