Christmas Lights for Ukrainian Doctors
Christmas Lights for Ukrainian Doctors - Shining a Light Through The Darkness of War
Auckland
With war raging in Ukraine, doctors in hospitals are forced to perform complex trauma surgery with no electricity or adequate equipment. This page aims to raise sufficient funds to purchase head-mounted illuminating lights to allow hospital specialists to perform complex surgery appropriately.
Medical professionals, who are currently staying in Ukraine during this terrifying time, aim not only to survive under the war conditions, but to do their professional duties to the best they can.
In addition to the danger to be bombed right at work when sirens are on, the latest challenge became to perform emergency surgeries in darkness, while the whole cities and regions have regular and long-lasting power cuts.
Being a dentist myself, who did charitable work in Vanuatu, lived and worked in New Zealand and whose husband is a neurosurgeon in Ukraine and is saving people's lives there, I am trying to build a bridge between colleagues in New Zealand and Ukraine.
My aim is to make it easy for the ones who want to help and the ones who are in need right now.
The reliable surgical headlights would be the best timely aid, I guarantee their purchase and targeted delivery to the hospitals in Ukraine.
These lights will be the best Christmas Lights for them this year.

Use of funds
Funds will be used to purchase head-mounted illuminating lights to use in complex surgery. I will purchase them directly from the supplier and get them delivered to the hospital.

This donation will add to a spare battery, to keep the light shining for longer, big thanks!
Richard, your amazing deed will be associated with generosity of New Zealand Neurologists, it made it possible to buy a desired piece of equipment for a theater in Ukraine. Now I can start the process of arranging the purchase. You are welcome to visit Ukraine and that theater, in a good time, when the headlight will be there hanging on a wall as a reminder of the human kindness 💗
Dear colleague, I believe you made this generous donation as a representative of New Zealand dentists. It is exciting for me, as I managed to make connection between our countries, when my Ukrainian friends are desperate for help. With our victory, there will be good times in my homeland again, and I will be happy to show you dental practices in Ukraine, you may be surprised and impressed with the level and friendliness. Big thanks for your aid!
