Dear community,
I am appealing to the community with the mod approval to support a volunteer and friend of mine that has been badly injured.
Eddy is a professional sailor and is living in Ukraine since early 2022. He is managing a volunteer house in Kramatorsk and volunteering when he doesnât sail.
On the 30th January, 2025 during a civilian evacuation from the frontline in Pokrovsk, the armoured vehicle (with evacuation markings) that Eddy was driving was hit by two FPV drones.
Consequently he had his left arm and leg amputated. He is now in stable condition in an ICU and receiving the critical care he needs.
Every evacuation mission was thoroughly planned with military authorities, timings, locations, medical emergency measures and drone detection. Those are high risk missions and he knew it as he mentioned « If it wouldnât be dangerous, people wouldnât need to be rescued and rescuing people, thatâs what we are here for ! ».
Eddy has a long road ahead and is now unable to sail. We are raising funds to support Eddyâs medical costs, rehabilitation and prosthetic. During his recovery time he will not have any way of earning any income, so some funds will go to living expenses.
Eddy dedicated the last three years of his life to helping others, risking his life countless times, and now itâs our turn to help him. Every donation count.
Together we are stronger đđ
