🚑🚑🚑
In March 2026, Finnish Lions Suomen Lions-liitto ry donated 12 ambulances to Ukraine (and a total of 28 in 4 years!)
This is an remarkable help to the Ukrainian people, as thousands need emergency care every day due to injuries, crisis states over stress, etc. Moreover, ambulances (as well as medical facilities) are often the primary targets of attacks by the russian army, so they need to be constantly renewed. That's why these vehicles are so important ❤️🩹
So, Finnish Lions Clubs raised funds and bought ambulances, equipped them with all the necessary for work. Then a large, well-coordinated team of Lion volunteers leading by Jari Järvelä delivered them to Ukraine.
Lion Mark Lyon - International First Vice President was present when the cars were being prepared for departure, recording a fine video. Later Lion Serhiy met the team in Kyiv to express sincere gratitude on behalf of the Ukrainians and discuss future cooperation 🙏
It's great when Lions are united around their mission. We support each other, we serve, and together we will stand!
