Accountant to drive and donate aid-filled ambulance to Ukraine

Paul Samrah is raising funds to refurbish an ambulance, fill it with supplies and personally deliver it to Ukraine as part of a convoy leaving Kent on Sunday 22 September.

Paul, who’ll remain a consultant with the firm following his retirement on 30 April, is fundraising £15,000 for Medical Life Lines Ukraine (MLLU) through the Moore Kingston Smith Community Foundation. These funds will cover purchasing, renovating and stocking the ambulance with medical and practical aid, including dressings, equipment and defibrillators, as well as the drive to Ukraine.

Paul commented: “The need for humanitarian aid and medical supplies is enormous. Through this initiative, we can provide practical and essential assistance, and make a real difference to the people of Ukraine. Every penny raised goes towards the ambulance, stocking it and getting it to the Ministry of Health.”

Dubbed the ‘Mega Convoy’, the fleet leaving in September is set to be MLLU’s biggest yet. So far, the organisation has delivered 52 ambulances to locations and hospitals throughout the country including Kyiv City Hospital, Boryspil Neonatal Centre, Okhmatdyt Children’s Perinatal Unit, Kharkiv A&E and more.
