We are seeking your assistance to send hundreds of mobility chairs for disabled people to Ukraine.
Nationwide
The war in Ukraine has raged on for over a year and a half, leaving cities and towns in ruins. Residential buildings, schools, and hospitals continue to be shelled, resulting in the loss of civilian and military lives every minute. Ukraine has become the most mined country in the world. It might take up to 70 years to completely clear the Ukrainian land of anti-tank and anti-personnel landmines. Thousands of Ukrainians have lost their limbs, leaving them unable to walk, and they require assistance to lead their lives. Due to the sheer number of people in need, there is a severe shortage of medical equipment.
In this critical situation, UANZ is reaching out to you for help. We are proud to announce that this will be the third container organized by united forces of UANZ organisations from both North and South Islands. We aim to send vital medical equipment, including hundreds of mobility chairs generously donated to us, to Ukraine. Your donation will cover the shipping costs to transport these life-changing mobility chairs from New Zealand to Ukraine, and other logistic expenses.
On the ground in Ukraine, a dedicated and trusted group of volunteers will ensure these mobility chairs reach the people who urgently require them. Your support can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by this ongoing crisis.
We are Ukrainians.
The donations will be spent on cost of delivery the container(s) from New Zealand to Ukraine. The project promises to be ongoing. It means there may be more containers than one.

Heads up! We have good news! 30 April 2024
We are going forward!
The third container, which many of you have recently been helping to pack, is going to Europe. For that we must bring our huge appreciation to the Andrew Bagshaw Memorial Trust, which alone paid for the custom expenses of this delivery. Now we are confident, the wheelchairs are going to reach Ukrainian hospitals and care organizations, and two hundred men and women will be able to move!
So, the funds, collected on this page and donated by the Ukrainian organizations all over New Zealand instead can be directed to pay for the next delivery of medical equipment, combined with the large party of high-quality thermal underwear, made by a Christchurch company Weft Knitting Company (https://www.weft.co.nz/) for substantially reduced price. Its managing director, Hugh Douglas, does whatever it takes to support Ukrainians, help them to survive and be victorious!
It doesn't mean we can stop. Not at all. Let's push up and get our goal achieved, so we can load and send the next container to help our brothers and sisters in Ukraine.
God bless you for your generosity!
