Kiwi K.A.R.E's container of medical aid from New Zealand is on its way to Ukraine

29 June 2023

My huge thanks to a wonderful bunch of Tauranga folk for packing and shipping a container of medical aid, and to all those around New Zealand who donated so generously to enable us to fill the container.

Joe, Tracey, and Gabbie, without you guys this would not have happened. Thank you for managing the warehouse and the shipping admin so professionally Joe. And Sally, Marty, and Sam - thank you for helping load the container, you guys are an amazing family.

And huge thanks to Johnnie Davison of On-Send Logistics and Gerry Claudatos of Nautica Shipping for all your work with shipping logistics.

There is not enough space here to thank all those who donated, please know we are very grateful to you.

I did want to mention Doctors Julian Lofts and Michael Klaassen who sourced a significant volume of medaid. None the least of which is an anesthetic machine from St Mark’s Surgical Centre in Auckland.

Thanks also to Tauranga Conmunity Nurse, Julie McRae for all your hard work. Andrew Graham and Cameron Weitz of ProPharma, Kim Kempthorne of Medical Aid Abroad, Kane Turner of KT Medical Serices, and the indefatigable Lyndon Tamblyn of Beyond Disaster Relief.

And thank you New Zealand for all your support. If you feel you can donate to keep the wheels rolling, we would hugely appreciate your support.
