Help send supplies to Sumy, Ukraine

$775 donated
Given by 8 generous donors in around 3 months

Fundraising for hygiene, medical and children's supplies in Sumy.

Nationwide

Sumy is a small Ukrainian city located close to the Russian border. The Sumy Women's Organisation (Merezhivo) is raising money to assist with buying basic supplies for their community.

The immediate need is for diapers - currently there is an increased need for children's diapers due to displaced children moving away from conflict zones. There is also an ongoing need for adult diapers for people who are bedridden due to injury or infirmity. Rehabilitative exercise equipment would be helpful to assist the wounded as they recover in hospital.

Other items that are required include hygiene products such as soap and shampoo. The community library is a meeting place for activities such as the reading club and children's art program. These initiatives would benefit from some additional funding to help with the cost of books, art materials etc.

Emma Richardson's involvement (page creator)

I visited Sumy in person and met with members of Merezhivo. I am fundraising on their behalf.

Use of funds

Funds will be used to buy the above, and possibly other items as required by the community organisation from time to time.

In Sumy the work continues ⭐  23 July 2023

Members of Merezhivo are still working hard. Thankfully it sounds like things have settled down a bit in the area, after a period of missile strikes and power outages close to the border. They have told me they are staying strong and united. Kia kaha from NZ 🌴🌞🏔️ 🌊
