Common Questions About Our Products and Services

Find answers to the most common questions about what we do and how we do it.

What is Medaria Aid?

Medaria Aid is a registered Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) based in Australia. We provide emergency medical aid to Ukraine by fundraising for, sourcing, and delivering specially equipped medevac vehicles, trauma kits, and frontline medical support.

Who runs Medaria Aid?

Medaria was founded by two mothers—one a veteran, the other a humanitarian—whose sons volunteered to fight in Ukraine. With years of lived experience supporting soldiers and delivering aid, they’ve built a mission-driven team determined to reach those most in need.

How are donations used?

Every dollar goes toward:
Purchasing and modifying medevac vehicles (4WDs, quad bikes)
Supplying trauma kits and protective gear
Covering essential logistics, fuel, and on-ground delivery in Ukraine
We publish regular updates on how funds are used and where the aid is deployed.

Are donations tax-deductible?

Yes, if you’re an Australian donor, your gift is tax-deductible.
We’re currently working with partners like GlobalGiving and CAF UK to enable tax-deductible donations for US and UK residents as well. Stay tuned for updates.

Can I sponsor a vehicle or a piece of equipment?

Yes! Individuals, families, companies, and organisations can sponsor a medevac vehicle, a medical kit, or a piece of essential equipment. We can even add your name or logo to the vehicle if desired.

How do you deliver aid into a war zone?

We work with a trusted network of volunteers, medics, and evacuation teams in Ukraine. All aid is tracked from procurement to deployment. Our vehicles are specially adapted to reach areas standard ambulances cannot—trenches, forest paths, and destroyed towns.

Can I volunteer with Medaria Aid?

Absolutely. We welcome help with:
Administration
Creative fundraising campaigns
Social media and marketing
Grant writing
Logistics support
Let us know your skills and availability via the Get Involved page.

Do you send physical goods or just money?

We send both. We fundraise to purchase medical vehicles and supplies and also coordinate physical shipments where needed. Most importantly, we can provide receipts for all that we provide. If you’d like to donate specific equipment, get in touch and we’ll guide you on what’s most needed.

Is Medaria Aid affiliated with the military or a government?

No. We are an independent, humanitarian organisation. While we support medics and evacuation teams that work in conflict zones, our purpose is strictly to save lives—not to participate in combat or political activity.

We need your help to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by the consequences of war.
