Hello,

We were asked how much such an ambulance costs with all the equipment, here are our experiences.

In the first ambulance project, almost 300,000 euros were collected, which made it possible to buy six vehicles, refurbish them and purchase various medicines and medical equipment.

Report of the first project with the cooperation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_rlrt0rnVQ

Of course, there are also transportation costs for fuel (diesel) for approx. 2700 km per vehicle as well as food for all the volunteers and drivers.
Such an ambulance has a fuel consumption of approx. 10 to 12 liters per 100 km and weighs approx. 5.5 tons when fully equipped; they are not built for long distances but for quick trips in the city.

Since we as an aid organization have to replace the vehicles again and again and we can then sell them ourselves, we don't have a dealer in between and so an expert opinion is then drawn up on the vehicle and then we buy it from the respective organizations, of course at a low value since everyone wants to help us.

But nevertheless, depending on the equipment (ambulance, emergency aid, intensive care equipment or obstetrics), such a vehicle still costs us several 10k euros or, to put it another way, for just under one Bitcoin at the current exchange rate you can get a complete ambulance fully equipped with various medicines and life-sustaining equipment including transport to the destination plus various additional medical supplies, as we do not travel to Ukraine with the vehicles empty.

Yes, it is a lot of money, but what does freedom cost, a healthy life without fear and suffering?

I hope I was able to bring you a little transparency here again to show this and we can continue to count on any support.

Greetings Tim

No, it's not a secret - on the contrary, it shows that we are working on it.

Hello friends

As some of you have already noticed, the error devil has crept into the Monero address and therefore some get an error message when sending.

We also had to check this first and realized that there is a space between the 4 and the A, which we have corrected.

Here is the correct valid address for Monero:

4958PhVdtQGTpgdpC2VUhv94MvnCSrA4E77aVmViwfdzbTrU5VGfYRtPTNSjcwtJgNhGzyVw9AqTMG4 A5Upv623cEPesXaU

Some people have asked what has been collected so far, so here's an update.

Bitcoin : 0.01152651
Ethereum : 0.0205
Monero : 0.37529

Here is a big, big thank you to @ All, please keep it up so that we can help the needy people again this time.

As I said, I don't understand your statements here!

This address has been in existence for over two years and has already been used to finance various aid transports and relief supplies.
Our investor receives the coins, who then exchanges them for us at the current exchange rate without any fees.
It is logical that withdrawals have taken place in the past.

What he ultimately does with them or where he sends them and to what address is completely irrelevant to us and is none of our business.

We are glad that we found such an investor back then and he also wants to remain anonymous.
He just helps us in the background to turn the coins into money to buy various aid transports and goods.

Once again, nothing has yet been withdrawn or exchanged for the current ambulance project, see the Blockchain.

Hello

I don't understand your statement here!

Everything that has been collected so far for this campaign is still available and in the account.

Everything that was collected before has also been used for what it was intended, needed and donated for.

See here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387906.0

We have been handling various aid shipments since the beginning of the war in Ukraine and we will continue to do so as long as the Ukrainians need our help.
So please don't spread unnecessary mistrust here, because that doesn't help the people who are in need and what we are all working for here. THANK YOU

Greetings Tim

Hello everyone,

you guys are awesome, my total respect to everyone here!

Nobody has to justify or apologize here, everyone donates as much as they can and nobody has to have a guilty conscience and think that their donation is too small, every cent counts and in the end the amount makes the result.
I also think it's great that one or the other is translating this campaign on other forums and thus continuing to advertise this project, so perhaps more support will come together to make this local project a success.

We as an aid organization (DRK) are absolutely in the public eye and our vocation is to help suffering, needy, poor, sick and all socially weak people and so this time we are helping the people of Ukraine.
Misuse of the support is completely impossible for us as everything is supervised by our legal department and we can prove at any time what we have done with which money and when.
This is also documented as well as possible in this forum, as some of you may have read.

Our philosophy is :
the wealthy give to the poor, we support the socially weak who are in need, because we are all human and everyone needs help.


Please understand that I can't reply to every post, but when I have more time I will of course distribute lots of merits.

Please, please keep up the good work, we want to collect as many ambulances as possible for the Ukraine.

Maybe we can also find some big investors who would support our project because the ambulances cost a lot of money even when used and then they also have to be equipped with various medical materials.

Thank you again, thank you, keep up the good work, the suffering people of Ukraine are so grateful to each and every one of you and together we can help these people and give them some hope again.

On behalf of everyone, my deepest respect to you and make sure you stay healthy.

Hello Outhue

We are an aid organization that is active in all countries and thus help where help is needed.
Since the war in the Ukraine, we have been financing various relief supplies, materials and everything that people need to survive through support.

Here is the link where we have documented everything and made it publicly available as far as we are allowed.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387906.msg59398990#msg59398990

But yes, we also have employees on the ground who are in constant contact with us to ensure that the relief supplies get to where they are needed.

In eastern Ukraine, the infrastructure is as good as destroyed and we have worked with some companies to establish a power and water supply there.

We organize all this from a safe country, where we plan, hold talks and prepare everything to always get the best possible help for the people of Ukraine.
Just like this project with the ambulances, we will buy them, equip them, get medicines, buy medical consumables, put everything together and when we have enough vehicles (the goal is at least six vehicles) we will bring them to the areas of Ukraine by axle with the accompaniment of the military so that everything arrives there healthy.

We can only finance all this with the help of all our supporters and we are happy about everyone who helps us.

I hope I was able to answer your questions.

Greetings Tim

Hello Vod

I do not know the admin / user Theymos, I also think that this topic does not belong here.

We as an aid organization want to help the Ukrainians and are looking for voluntary supporters for this project.

Please clarify this on another level, not in this public space, thank you

Thank you for wanting to help us too, thank you, thank you, thank you

Greetings Tim

Hello @2Pizza410000BTC

Thank you very much for your support, has arrived and has already been confirmed, super thanks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone else

In the meantime we have been able to reserve two more vehicles (pictures will follow) from a stock of an aid organization, so we would now have three vehicles for the Ukraine that we can buy to help the Ukrainians.

Some have already announced their support here and we very much hope that this will be realized and that there will be further support, because unfortunately the vehicles are not quite cheap, we are talking about several 10k per vehicle, plus medicines and consumables.

I say thank you again and hope for active participation, it is for a very good cause and it is about people like you and me.

Greetings Tim

PS: It is up to you whether you want to post your donation here or remain anonymous, we will respect any decision you make.

Hello

We will then take the vehicles to Ukraine and there will be doctors, nurses and carers ready to take over and staff the vehicles.

The background to this project is that there are many injured, wounded, sick and also people in need of care in this country who are no longer able to visit a hospital because the infrastructure in this region is completely destroyed or the hospitals themselves are damaged.

We took six vehicles there in the last campaign and that was an enrichment on the ground.
That is why we are now starting a second campaign to be able to take at least as many vehicles there again.

As I said, the staff are there, we just need the equipment to be able to help people, to give them some hope and to preserve their dignity.

Because nobody wants to be left behind secretly, alone and in agony !!!

So we hope that there will be many supporters who want to help us here, even if we know that we cannot save everyone, but we can all make a contribution to humanity, thank you

Greetings Tim

Hello@ teamsherry

As we are an aid organization and not a betting office, this is out of the question for us.

We stand for human values and not for making a profit.

This is also the reason why we cannot simply add another address or currency, as this is all done via a trustee/lawyer who monitors and documents this for us, so we can prove at any time what was done with which money and when.

This is the only way to create trust and every supporter knows that everything is above board and that's the way it has to be.


Hello @ Out of mind

Thank you, thank you, thank you has arrived and has already been confirmed, thank you very much again


Hallo@ Fuso.hp and everyone else here

Nochmals vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe!

Wie gesagt, es ist für einen verdammt guten Zweck, heute Morgen hatten wir über unsere Kontakte vor Ort ein Telefonat mit einem Chefarzt in der Ukraine und die Fahrzeuge werden sehr schnell benötigt.
Im ersten Projekt, bei dem wir bereits sechs Fahrzeuge ausgeliefert haben, sind sie rund um die Uhr im Einsatz.
Zwei Fahrzeuge sind an das Militär gegangen, um ihren verwundeten Soldaten zu helfen, eines wurde umgebaut, um einen Operationssaal vor einem Kinderkrankenhaus zu ersetzen, und die anderen drei sind für die Bevölkerung, die Hilfe in ihrer lebensbedrohlichen Situation benötigt. Die Fahrzeuge sind jetzt 24/7 im Einsatz und ich habe großen Respekt vor den Teams vor Ort, die versuchen, Leben unter Bedingungen zu retten, die nicht mehr menschlich sind.

Aus diesem Grund bitte ich Sie, Ihre Familie, Freunde, Bekannte, Ihr Umfeld, Arbeitgeber oder Unternehmen zu fragen, ob sie sich vorstellen können, uns hier zu helfen, um mehr Fahrzeuge und medizinisches Material sowie Medikamente (Anästhetika sind sehr wichtig) organisieren zu können.

Im Namen aller Beteiligten, danke, danke, danke, ohne euch, unsere Unterstützer, hätten wir vieles nicht realisieren können, weiter so, denn auch wenn der Krieg irgendwann vorbei ist, ist das Leid und ihre lebensbedrohliche Situation nicht vorbei. Die Menschen brauchen Menschen wie uns, die einfach helfen, ohne lange zu überlegen.

Liebe Grüße Tim

Hallo Zusammen,

Hello,

This has nothing to do with the convenience of our organization.

At the time, we agreed with the investor which cryptocurrency would be best suited to guarantee a certain anonymity towards the supporters.
There are some people who want to support us but want to remain anonymous and at that time nobody could have guessed that the fees would rise like this.
It's up to everyone whether they want to announce what, who, how much or prefer to remain anonymous.

Of course, it also has something to do with the organization, unfortunately it is not so easy to add another address of another cryptocurrency for an aid project. Because everything is controlled by us and we can always prove what was done with it, for what purpose and when. An additional or new cryptocurrency would first have to be checked/verified by us.

Therefore I ask you to use these known addresses, it is no problem for us if you take the fees as small as possible for cost reasons and it will take several days until it is confirmed.

On behalf of all I thank you that you want to help us, we can use every cent for this important project and are still looking for supporters / investors.

Greetings Tim

Hello together

I think it's great that you want to help us, my respect and a big thank you.

Unfortunately we can't offer you any other addresses, as an aid organisation (DRK) we decided to use Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero after consulting our investor/exchange and fixed addresses were set up for them.

If we were to add another address now, we would have to register this again as everything is constantly checked for correctness. Furthermore, we would then have to exchange the other tokens/coins for Bitcoin or Ethereum, which would mean that less of the donated amount would be available.
Unfortunately, an ambulance like the one from the first campaign costs several thousand euros second-hand and the vehicles have to be fully equipped.
We are lucky that we can buy the vehicles from our own stock, so we can keep the prices low, know that everything is available and working, but unfortunately we don't get them for free either.

So we need every cent to be able to handle this and don't want to lose money on any fees.

So I ask you to send your donations in Bitcoin or Ehtereum, if the fees are too high, then send the coins at a slower speed.
Our investor doesn't care if the confirmations take several days, he would make these amounts available to us immediately so that we can realise the project.

I hope that you understand and on behalf of everyone involved I say thank you thank you thank you.

We very much hope that we can help the Ukrainians again this time with this campaign, so that their suffering can be alleviated a little.

Please stay healthy

Greetings Tim

Hello

I agree with you that the costs are very high at the moment, but you could also send it with less service.

We are an aid organisation (DRK) and most of us work here on a voluntary basis and as this is not always easy for us, we try to make it as simple as possible.

For this reason, we have only opted for Bitcoin and Ethereum as they are the best known. We could certainly have used other coins, but managing them and then exchanging them etc. takes a lot of time, so we prefer to use this time for other things.

Greetings Tim
