FARGO (KVRR/KFGO) – After a few months in Ukraine, Mark J. Lindquist has made a stop back in Fargo and is walking up and down Veterans Boulevard seeking donations to support Ukrainian war veterans.
Lindquist. a retired air force veteran, started his walk at 5 a.m. Sunday and is planning on finishing the march at 9 p.m. Monday.
He’s marching with a mission, raising money for a veteran rehabilitation center in Kyiv. About $50,000 is needed to do those renovations and be able to start bringing veterans in, because of the trauma they are experiencing,
Lindquist has started receiving donations for his campaign. Following his 40-hour journey, Lindquist will board a plane to Poland and plans to reside in Ukraine. He’s applying for a green card and permanent residency because he says Ukraine has not yet won the war and the funding groups there are out of money, having spent everything they had last year.
If you would like to donate to the cause, you can send a check to “The A-Team: Ukraine” or go to Mark J Lindquist’s website.
