Goal€ 5.500

On the fourth Christmas of Ukraine’s epic fight for survival against a vile imperialistic state, Car for Ukraine celebrates the heroism of the soldiers who have ‘held the line’. 

Join us to hold the line, and keep the soldiers moving and alive!

General Goal:

The Eastern Border's fundraiser is a part of the Christmas Tree Trucks 2025 campaign - an ambitious fundraiser led by a group of our wonderful team of information warriors raising funds for 15 vehicles for the Ukrainian army.

 

The Goal of the Campaign for The Eastern Border

1 of 2 truck.jpg

  • 1/2 armored battle-ready pickup. The other half is raised by Tanya Fiona and her YouTube channel

We are sourcing all vehicles around 2010-2017 or newer, mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, with low mileage and fully serviced. These are some of the greatest and the most reliable pickups possible to be on the frontline in Ukraine.


Who will receive the vehicles?

  • The 38th Marine Brigade, who alone held Krynki for 124 days, receiving the Military Cross of Honour.

Donate and Receive

Collectable Patch

For our Christmas 2025 patch, we present Bohdan Khmelnytsky, part of our 2025 ‘History of Ukraine’ patch collection.

Everyone who contributes €100 (~$115) or more will be able to receive it.

Bohdan Khmelnytsky is considered a national hero, a founder of the nation, and a symbol of freedom. 
His victorious leadership of a Cossack rebellion, against the Polish-Lithuanian overlords in the mid-17th century, resulted in the creation of an independent Cossack state.

Also, we celebrate the Christmas period with a classic Ukrainian Christmas Tree patch.

Custom branding

For €2,500 we will place your custom sticker on one side of a truck. 

It could be your text, message, logo, name, or your country's flag.

"Your truck" at the frontline

The average cost of an armored pickup we deploy to the frontline is €11,000. If you contribute with that amount all the custom branding options will be yours. Plus you'll receive a personalized reporting about the truck, where it ends up as well as some surprise gifts from us.

On top of that, you may personally deliver the truck UK ---> Ukraine, getting it to our workshop for further refitting and preparation for the frontline. Or you can also come to Lviv directly when the truck is ready for deployment Lviv ---> Frontline and hand over the keys to the warriors personally, creating a lifetime experience for yourself together with us.

What Makes C4U Trucks a Perfect Balance?

Short answer: We spend money on what really matters and save on everything else to deliver more trucks every time.

  • Frontline pickups: C4U has provided 780+ frontline pickup trucks since 2022, with funds raised EUR 7M (December 1, 2025).
  • C4U deploys mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, dated 2010-2017, with low mileage, fully serviced and upgraded to last 20-30,000 km without technical issues.
  • These pickups are most favoured by Ukraine military due to being some the toughest and most reliable pickups for the frontline in Ukraine.
  • Armour for life: C4U is one of a few groups that focus on making vehicles battle-ready, not just cars. One key element for every truck that has a risk of being hit: we armour them with 8mm steel plates around vital places of humans (neck, knees, head, body) as well as around the vehicles' vital places - such as engine parts, radiator, turbo, accumulator to keep the vehicle moving even after being shelled.
  • Direct support to Ukraine: Spending your donor dollars inside Ukraine supports the survival of Ukraine as a nation and develops in-country skills and capabilities. Engineers doing mechanical work and armouring vehicles, visual designers, patch and pin makers, and other paid personnel are all in Ukraine.
  • Value for donor money: The main personnel with C4U are all volunteers working pro-bono.  Our costs are kept to a minimum (no marketing, paid photographers, event planners). The currency value of UAH is 40x lower than EU compared to USD.
