“They have helped countless families cross the border and are continuing to deliver supplies into Ukraine to help with military aid,” the campaign reads alongside a picture of Wiseley, his friend, and others.
“In the last few days alone, they have helped countless people and delivered supplies to armed forces and those still living in Ukraine and are paying for it all out of their own pockets,” the campaign says. “This is where we come in; the funding raised here will help provide additional resources to those in need at the border.”
The statement on the page adds, “This group began with ten strangers who found one another through an app called discord and now have become an official organization providing humanitarian aid and assistance to the Ukrainian armed forces and people. They are currently transporting goods received from around the world into Ukraine, based on the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and government.”
