[ENGLISH 🇬🇧 BELOW]

Cześć, nazywam się Adam Baranowski. Jestem doktorantem na wydziale Matematyki Teoretycznej i Statystyki na Uniwersytecie w Cambridge. W obliczu sytuacji w Ukrainie zrobiłem przerwę od mojego ostatniego roku w Cambridge, aby pomagać Ukrainie na miejscu.

Pomagam od pierwszego tygodnia wojny. Podczas ostatniego wyjazdu wraz z dwójką znajomych dostarczyliśmy na granicę dwa samochody wypełnione po brzegi zebranymi wspólnie lekami i najpotrzebniejszymi rzeczami, które zostały następnie dostarczone prosto do oblężonego wtedy Charkowa. Po ich doręczeniu zajęliśmy się przewożeniem uchodźców w koordynacji z NGO Rodziny Bez Granic [link] i pomocą w lokalnym punkcie sortowania dostaw do Ukrainy. Łącznie przewieźliśmy do bezpieczeństwa miast w Polsce 30 matek i kilkuletnich dzieci uciekających od koszmarów wojny. Było to możliwe między innymi dzięki wsparciu moich znajomych. Niestety, sytuacja jest dramatyczna i pomoc wyłącznie znajomych może już nie wystarczyć.

Potrzeba leków oraz wyposażenia obronnego dla chłopaków walczących na froncie. Jestem w kontakcie z grupą Into The Bloodlands [link], z którą będę dostarczać ten sprzęt oraz medykamenty prosto do zaprzyjaźnionego porucznika i szpitala w Korosteszowie k. Żytomierza. Pozostajemy w ciągłym kontakcie z osobami na froncie, aby wiedzieć, jakie są najpilniejsze potrzeby i jak najefektywniej wydać zebrane fundusze. Priorytetem w tej chwili są mocne środki uśmierzające, termowizja, kamizelki kuloodporne, hełmy. Te kosztują jednak niemałe pieniądze i będę potrzebował waszej pomocy, aby zebrać całą potrzebną sumę.

Po doręczeniu leków oraz sprzętu będziemy na miejscu zajmować się przewozem uchodźców z rejonów podfrontowych z pomocą lokalnych koordynatorów. Przebieg akcji oraz wydatki za zebrane środki będę na bieżąco raportował na stronie tej zrzutki.

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Hi, my name is Adam Baranowski. I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at University of Cambridge. Due to the situation in Ukraine, I took a break from my last doctoral year at Cambridge to help in Ukraine — boots on the ground.

I have been volunteering since the first week of the war. Soon after it started, together with two friends we raised money and delivered two cars full of medicines and other necessities that were taken directly to the sieged Kharkiv. After that, we helped with the transport of refugees in coordination with a local NGO "Rodziny Bez Granic" ("Families without borders") [link] as well as doing supply runs for a local medical aid sorting point. In total, we transported 30 mothers and children fleeing from the atrocities of the war to the safety of Poland. All this was made possible thanks to the support of my friends. Unfortunately, the situation is still truly desperate, and deteriorating.

Medicines and protective equipment are urgently needed for hospitals and people fighting on the frontline. I am in touch with a group of Polish volunteers "Into The Bloodlands" [link], with whom I am going to deliver the equipment directly to a befriended lieutenant and a hospital in Korostyshiv, Zhytomyr Oblast. We are constantly updated on what is needed the most, so the raised money can be spent as effectively as possible. Priority right now are strong painkillers, thermal and night vision, tactical vests and helmets. This is costly equipment and I will need your help to gather the entire sum. Thus, I’d be grateful for your contribution to this cause that I’m determined to accomplish for the benefit of the people of Ukraine.

After delivering the medicines and equipment we are going to stay around for a couple of days and help locally with evacuations of refugees and residents to safer areas with help of local coordinators as was advised by governors of the Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

I will be reporting progress and expenses on this fundraiser website on an ongoing basis.

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
