Pick-up truck for Ukraine

Hi all,

I'll be travelling to eastern Ukraine in early July and I would like to bring something much needed by the civilian volunteers in my home city: a pickup truck.

I'm told that it is realistic to source one in reasonable condition on the UK used car market for £3,000, so this is my goal.

If we raise this amount, I'll drive the vehicle from the UK to Zaporizhzhia myself, where I will hand it to Galina Goncharenko - the local volunteer we have helped in the past.

Russian troops are currently 35-40 km away from Zaporizhzhia.

I'm very sorry to pester you for money again, but this is important. Quite literally, it is a matter of life and death.

Here's the link to my fundraising page:

Many thanks for your kindness and generosity.

Sitrep: we're more than two-thirds of the way there thanks to your kind contributions! Please feel free to share, as we need another £850 to fund a pick-up truck... Many thanks to you all for your contributions!
 
Amazing! We're on the home stretch - £260 to go (it's not showing on the page because some have transferred money directly into my account)!
Hopefully you’ll find a car dealer sympathetic to the cause, maybe put a new post up asking for advice sourcing a truck, seems to be a few petrolheads on pfm or maybe you already have it covered. ATB anyway and safe journey.
 
WE'VE DONE IT! Many thanks, everyone - we've collected the £3,000 we need! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your kindness and generosity are truly humbling.

Now the plan is to bid for this Nissan:

Unless someone is aware of a similar vehicle available for purchase for similar money?

Once I have the truck, the plan is to have it properly inspected at a garage and then set off for Zaporizhzhia in eastern Ukraine next week. Donations for fuel gratefully received using the same link:

Many thanks again for making this happen.
 
OK, sitrep! Thanks to your generous support, I've been able to purchase this huge pick-up truck for volunteers in Ukraine! I'm taking it to a garage for an inspection first thing tomorrow morning, and if I get the green light from the mechanics, the long journey from Reading to eastern Ukraine begins!

I'm picking up a British volunteer along the way, and also some humanitarian supplies from Kent. I'm hoping to be in Zaporizhzhia by early next week.

If anyone's willing to donate me some diesel money, please use the same link:

Stay tuned, and many thanks again!
