Everyone, I've gotta drop offline to prep for the run Here's where we're at: 7.5 Ton Semi-Truck loaded with aid Ambulance, loaded with aid Mitsubishi L200 with 2ea Ultrasounds The Express is loaded with aid. Two more SUV's with aid An effort for one more ambulance for the run THANK YOU ALL!!

All: We are funded, and have purchased a 7.5 Ton truck to donate to the 25th Airborne!!! Inside, it's loaded to the roof with medical supplies from Ana at "Hull4Ukraine", and will be delivered to the "Traveling Colonels" for distribution to units and hospitals throughout Ukriane more in comments:

Everyone, meet "Maxim"! You see him here wearing his dad's boots because he didn't have any shoes of his own. His dad is enlisting, and Maxim will live with his Grandmother. Could we help? You bet your ass we can! Maybe we can find some things to send to his dad too? What do you think?

Here's another!! From Taras in the UK, (with help from "Ana" in "Hull4Ukraine"): bed rolls, rations, and about 25kgs of uniforms handy and asked if we had anyone in Ukraine that had a need. Well, here's the SECOND of three deliveries! (and Vikki in Dnipro is sorting out the last box as we speak!)

Our friend Taras in the UK, with help from our friend "Ana" in "Hull4Ukraine", had a HUGE supply of bed rolls, rations, and about 25kgs of uniforms handy and asked if we had anyone in Ukraine that had a need. Well, here is the first of three deliveries!

Everyone, please join me in congratulating Dr. Julia on her recent promotion!! She is now officially an officer in the 19th Army Corps!

From Gary. It's important to remember why we do this, and the difference we can make to those on the receiving end. ❤️‍🩹 Watch until the end please. youtu.be/WJmkYZtqinQ?...

Hey everyone, we had some funds left over from Ruslan's fund so we asked if there was anything else he needed. Pictured here (and already installed) are the two new Hankook tires we bought him for his team's ambulance!! Just a friendly reminder: This is a vehicle his team funded themselves 💙💛

Everyone, it's looking more and more certain. We're buying a 7.5 Ton TRUCK for our defenders in the 25th Airborne! 🤘🏼😁🤘🏼 Details and fundraiser to follow, but we ARE doing this!!!! 💙💛

Some photos from our "family time" over the weekend. We keep finding ways to "work" even when we're relaxing. This time we were watching "Dare to Ukraine" on youtube and cutting new "Dnipro Express" stickers. Good times 💙💛

Putting russia's drone terrorism into perspective: Even though the lines haven't advanced, a lot of the cities we used to visit in our deliveries are now considered "off limits". Here's a quick "before and after" from Dobropillia: youtu.be/rVt7_juyMDo

Look who's turning two today! This is Mariya from Sloviansk, and just LOOK at how big she's gotten over the years! (I don't know if I should "AW" or cry, or both) Happy Birthday, Mariya! 🎂🎂🎂 Well be sending you something very soon!! 💖

Truck update: That little bit of oil spray I noticed on the battery in Kharkiv last time started to get worse! It turned out to be just a loose bolt on the crank pulley, but I changed out all the seals on the oil pump anyway (since I was in there)

GOOD NEWS! Our medics are getting the stuff we sent them for their ambulances!! Here's Maksim with his 4G wifi antenna kit (plus powerbank)! Honestly glad that these got to the guys and are being put in operation. Happy Friday, everyone!

Here's our haul so far! This is going to be a LOT for only three vehicles (over half of it was what we were able to fit in Spark Perfromance's and Akadia's van!). Thank you ALL for helping us bring all this medical equipment together. It's going to save lives. Stay strong, Ukraine. We're coming 💙💛

I've said it before: It's the 1-million helping hands that keep this effort going. On short notice we had to borrow a vehicle at the last minute to collect two Ultrasounds that were donated. Spark Performance and the Akadia Group REALLY came through. These are going to save lives. Thank you all!

Ladies and gentlemen, WE'VE DONE IT! Both devices were funded overnight! The money is on it's way. As soon as the shops open on Monday morning, Vikki in Dnipro is going to get both medics the devices they asked for. A HUGE thank you to ALL of you for everything you're doing out there!!! 💙💛

Everyone, the medics in Ukraine are talking. Two medics from two separate units have approached us with requests for their ambulances (one ambulance was paid for by the members of the unit themselves). See the below for details and let us know if you can help! Cheers everyone, and than you!!!

Good morning!!! These supplies come from "Malcomb" on the Kyiv Independent's discord server. Some much needed bandages and chest vents for our newly adopted medic! We've gotten a few requests for more medical devices so please stay tuned for our next effort. Thank you all for all you are doing!!

Good morning, everyone! Here she is!!! Jack reports that this one is slightly older than our last one, but is in better nick.  He says that he plans to add helper leaf springs underneath the back to beef up the suspension this time for its use in the war. 🤘 Wish these guys luck for me! 💙💛

Success! Our supplies have reached Dr. Julia (her colleagues pictured here) and Dr. Nadia! A huge thank you again to @spiritofukraine.bsky.social for making this happen! And thank you all for being out there and doing what you do 💙💛 Разом до перемоги!

This one comes from @spiritofukraine.bsky.social. Here you see Vikki delivering the first care package to the Dnipro Children's hospital. The remaining medicine and bandages have been put into two care packages and have been sent to Dr.Julia and Dr.Nadia, stay tuned for more! 💙Разом до перемоги💛

Hey everyone, this one's bad news: We've been helping a mother of a son with brain cancer. Every trip, we'd send her pet food so she could be with her son and have less to worry about. I'm sad to report at 15-years old, her son has succumbed to his illness. This was our most recent delivery.

Hey, everyone! Please allow me to introduce our newest adopted medic, Dr. Nadia! From the 228th Logistics Battalion, here she is with some much needed meds that Vikki in Dnipro was able to send her on short notice. Stay tuned for more, as we're going to make sure she's well taken care of 💙💛

Hey all. I don't think I've thanked you enough for this: When the calls went out, our ambulance was already in the area and it's because of your work. We've succeeded. I our ambulance is pointed west. She's hurt, but she was there when Ukraine needed her. Thank you all for making that happen💙💛

That last update I posted on Youtube got nearly 900 views AND the attention of some russian trolls (which I thought was hilarious!) Let's see what happens when I post another one. Happy Friday, everyone! youtu.be/pv1nC8aSs7o

Video montage for the full "Back to School" trip report is out! a huge "THANK YOU" for all of you who continue to make these possible! youtu.be/uyKeDEzdbik

Good morning, everyone. No time to rest, the work continues. разом до перемоги 💙💛

From our 2025 "Back to School" run, this one's just for the kids. Thank you ALL for making this possible. In total we raised almost $2500 for this effort and were able to get all 63 children EVERYTHING on their wish list!!! Here's to starting the school year off right 💙💛 youtu.be/YHLg3aKJ69E

Hey everyone. With everything happening in Ukraine right now (and in Alaska) I wanted to make a video real quick that show how we've prepared for exactly this, and what work we'll be doing as we go forward. Stay strong out there. We'll get our defenders through this. 💙💛 youtu.be/hqtmTJLFD6U

Everyone! Our "Back to School" trip report is written! And it is a LONG one (so set a bit of time aside when you go to read it). I promise, it's all worth it for the ending 🤘 Here's the link. Enjoy! 💙💛 dniproexpress.com/trip-reports...

We're seeing what's happening in Dobropillia. We were just there to deliver the drone hauler L200 to Yarik and the Rescue Nissan Pathfinder to Dr. Julia back in April. Sarah and Vika delivered "Lesya" to six-ten in June. Now we pray it's enough. Stay strong everyone. We're still coming.

Everyone, we're back!!!! And not wasting a single moment of time, we discovered a warehouse full of medical supplies on our way home 🤣 (Trip report coming soon, just give me a moment to get unpacked) Our Ambulance fundraiser is still going, here's the link to donate: donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

WOW, you guys 😮‍ Since our announcement that our ambulance was destroyed in a drone strike, we've received $550 from you in donations towards a replacement!! With that, we'd like to announce that WE'RE GOING TO FUND AN AMBULANCE FOR GARY!!! 🚑🚑 Read the full story here: donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to all of you who reached out about our ambulance. I was feeling a little silly yesterday so I made a quick video from all of the ambulance clips from her time in service (The NSFW language isn't anything I think we'd bat an eye at). youtu.be/kV6C0P2iiXQ

Everyone, our ambulance's time in service during this war has unfortunately come to an end. She saved lives, and that's what's important. People are alive because of you got her to where she needed to be. If you'd like to read her stories, you can do so here: dniproexpress.com/trip-reports...

If we started shopping for our children's school supplies, we wouldn't tell anyone... but there would be signs 🤣🤣

Still prepping for the run, today's task was "ignition health"! This is something I've been meaning to get to, but haven't been able to. So "Hoser Racing" from Grassroots Motorsports Magazine MAILED us the needed parts! Thanks Hoser!!! Happy Friday, everyone! donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

Hey, everyone! We finally got the video uploaded for Sarah, Vika, and Ken's most recent Donbass vehicle delivery! You can check out the montage here: youtu.be/7tIjCfpjBRg?...

Goooooooooooood morning, everyone! It's begun! I noticed yesterday that we had just passed the $2000 mark on our drive and thought is was time we got started! Yesterday we made our very first stop, at our very first shop!  From here on, it only gets bigger and BETTER! donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

No rest for the wicked! With the fire-wall sealant sorted and the uprated booster installed, it's time to get back to fixing those brakes! Happy Monday, everyone! donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

She's back! And Sarah's story from her 4x4 delivery to the new drone team in the 25th Airborne can be read at the link below: dniproexpress.com/trip-reports... Don't forget, we still have a fundraiser going for our refugee children in Dnipro: donorbox.org/keep-the-exp... Cheers, everyone!

Mid brake booster swap, I saw light coming in from behind the clutch pedal. I guess that's why the carpet was wet every time it rained! 🤣 RTV is a temp repair, but I'm going to have to get in there and fix things correctly. Three days of rain and the carpet is as dry! donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

Hey, all! Apologies for the inconvenience, but due to new policies, our store was down for a bit while we adjusted things on our end. I just wanted to pop in and say we got things fixed and we're back up and running! dnipro-express-merch.printify.me/category/all/1

Look who's 1-year-old today! This comes from Vikki's "Mothers and Babies" fund, and look what she bought little Camilla for her birthday! Enjoy your new toy, Camilla. We'll be visiting again very soon with even more goodies! ❤️❤️❤️ donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

"Hannah" from the Kyiv Independent discord server donated an uprated "dual diaphragm" brake booster for the 4-Runner. The result should mean more stopping power with less pedal effort 🤘 Our "Back to School" drive is still open for our refugee children in Dnipro. donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

Work has begun! The rear drums were a bit warped and I'm not sure what the minimum spec is on these things, but I'm betting that rust has chewed away at most of what was allowable 🤣 Our School Supply donation drive is still up and running for any who wanted to donate! donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

Happy Monday, everyone! With everything going on we weren't feeling the holiday mood this weekend.Instead we spent our time making trench candles in preparation for the cold winter ahead. Here's the link of our children's fundraiser for the new school year: donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

This one's for the kids! Guys, our 63 refugee children in Dnipro have not had it easy this year. It's time we reminded them that we're here and still care. This is for our kids "Back to School Drive 2025"! Click the link below if you wanted to donate: donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...

For our European followers, Gary has a video out to help Braz. There is IBAN/SWIFT info at the end for anyone who preferred that method to donate. It DOES go to a different person (not the "The Express") but it is a parallel effort to help Braz walk again. Cheers! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oo_...
