Andriy has continued to transport supplies to eastern refugee centers and transport people west.

There are 3 ways to donate to help in this matter, all of them involving Andriy’s friend Igor in Germany who has been carrying supplies to Ukraine for several weeks now.
1. Shop on Amazon.de (the German site for Amazon) and ship to the address below (please screenshot your purchase and email it to Igor at boychuck_igor@ukr.net )
2. Ship directly to the address below
3. Donate to Igor’s Supplies for Ukraine Military fundraiser project https://give.woee.org/IgorProtectorsofPeace
One caveat that Igor and Andriy have discovered is that Igor must pay Import Duty/Tax on items shipped in from US addresses so be aware if you choose to ship items, there could be fees that you also need to donate to reimburse Igor. Please message me with any questions regarding this unfortunate fact.
Igor’s Shipping Address is:
Igor Boychuk
Hof Mappen 1
65388 Schlangenbad
Germany
