KIWI K.A.R.E UKRAINE - Kiwi Aid & Refugee Evacuation

Ten more ambulances for Ukraine

  17 January 2025

Great day today getting the 10 ambulances ready to roll towards Port of Auckland on Saturday.

Thanks for your help today, Joe McGregor - and that of Transport Services Te Puke - couldn’t have done it without you guys.

I’m looking forward to meeting the drive team on Saturday - a great bunch of Hamilton based Ukrainians!

    Tenby's done it again....more ambulances, more support from his friends and community, and great to hear that Hamilton based Ukrainians are being involved also.

    Kiwi K.A.R.E. are my most favoured charity because they get stuff done, and continue to do so.

    Great work. Maybe the only material help from this part of the world. The Aussies promised 50 Abrams tanks while NZ couldn't master a few LAVs. The biggest war since WWII on 1500km front rages on. Not always in the news.

    Thanks Gillian, and for your ongoing support. 💙💛

    Thanks Dimitry - we have asked for the LAV’s as armoured ambulances (which is to say we requested them in a non-kinetic role). This would get widespread approval from the New Zealand public and, I suspect, many current govt Ministers. We will keep trying. And importantly, we will keep our Road-of-Life and Heat-for-Health programmes running, and keep the humanitarian and medical aid going forward and the evacuations and patient hospital transfers going rearward.
