We have a mission that will save many children and refugees from dying
On March 23, 2022 we were contacted by a local fellow Ukrainian. He is currently on the ground in Khmelnytskyi Children’s Hospital, serving as an anesthesiologist in the intensive care unit.
Here is their story:
“As the war in Ukraine began, millions of Ukrainians have fled the war. More than 3.6 million of them have fled the country, but 7 million people are fleeing inside Ukraine. Khmelnytskyi is one of the cities in Ukraine to welcome those severely affected by war. The Intensive Care of Khmelnytskyi Children’s Hospital wasn’t expecting this tremendous amount of kids and now is overwhelmed due to the lack of medical equipment for those in critical condition.
Because of the war, buying the needed equipment became virtually impossible. Firstly, because there are no warehouses available to order it; and secondly, because there are no funds. At this point, our goal is to collect the funds and ship the medical equipment directly from the USA, in order to give a chance for life for children, the life of which depends on this equipment.”
We need to raise close to $87,000 for this equipment to save children’s lives. We will try to purchase it here in the USA and we already have ways to get it to the hospital from Poland directly delivered by car.
We require your assistance. Please consider making a donation of any size; every little bit helps. If you are unable to do so, simply share our fundraising campaign.
