Help wounded Ukrainians to live their lives.

    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!

    Dear friends

    Yesterday we achieved a significant milestone in our Container project. A 40ft container loaded up to the roof with wheelchairs (we have been able to fit in two hundred of the wheelchairs. That's two hundred individuals who can be mobile now!), walking frames, hospital beds, also countless begs of clothing, children's toys and some other goodies. In days it will be shipped to Ukraine. It would never be possible to get done without your participation. Thank you so much!

    Special thanks to the management and employees of Regal Rexnord who took on all the burdens of storing the stuff before it is loaded into container. You are legends, guys!

    But the story is not finished yet. Not all equipment we were able to fit into this container. There are more medical stuff waiting to be sent and, the most important, hundreds of thermal underwear sets being specially made for us by a New Zealand manufacturer. It is heavily discounted and with help of generous donors, but we still need additional 6 - 7 thousand dollars to send them to the people in need to survive harsh Ukrainian winter.

    Please, keep your donations flow. Every dollar counts. You are amazing!
