153rd Battalion – VW T5 Repair

Collection campaign

For the 153rd Separate Reconnaissance and Assault Battalion, we completed a fundraiser.

We raised money to repair the VW Transporter that has been serving continuously at the front line since September 2025. The van needed a new clutch.

According to the quote, the cost was 34,470 UAH ($770). Once the target amount had been raised, the VW was taken straight to the repair shop. Below are all the details, from the initial request through to completion.
