22 Tons of Food and Hygiene Products!
A week and a half ago, we drove to Turkey to look at our options to purchase supplies from new wholesalers. Today, our fruits of labour arrived :) 22 tons of food and personal hygiene products.
12 UV Room Sterilizing Air Filters for Orphaned Babies
12 UV light air filters were delivered to a local orphanage in Chernivtsi city for children under the age of 6.
These lamps will be used in baby rooms to sterilize rooms for babies to minimize airborne diseases and bacteria. This request came from the director of the facility as they have recently found themselves overwhelmed by orphans that were relocated to western Ukraine, or were orphaned as a result of the war.
29 Pallets of Medical Supplies in Collaboration with Direct Relief
In collaboration with Direct Relief, Bird of Light Ukraine facilitated the delivery of 29 pallets of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals to Ukraine.
Orthopedic Walking Device for Blind Disabled Child
Bird of Light Ukraine primarily tries to focus on making big impact through large deliveries, but sometimes, it’s the little things that also go a long way in somebody’s life.
We were recently asked by a young single mother of three if we could provide an orthopedic walking device for her blind disabled child. While the blindness cannot be easily treated, with the assistance of this device at the child’s age, we could restore his ability to walk.
3 Pallets Medical Supplies and 8800 units of Baby Food
Another great delivery :) 3 pallets of medical supplies. Including gauze, IV kits, burn kits, oxygen tanks, burn bandages, splints, homeostatic sponges, and… 8800 units of baby food!
These items will be delivered in the coming days to the those that need it the most.
4 More Ambulances to Frontline Medics in Ukraine
This one has been a long project in development for us. We would like to first thank Mary Pat Bonner and associates for sponsoring these ambulances, to Salvo Arena of Chiomenti, a prominent Italian law firm for assisting in finding and delivering these ambulances., and to Alex Lastivka who assisted in the transportation of the ambulances into Ukraine.
These ambulances will be sent directly to frontline areas to medics for urgent triage and evacuation of injured civilians.
Thank you to everybody involved and to the brave drivers and medics who will be using these vehicles.
6 Tons of Rice and 166L of oil to Ukraine
To this point, many of our deliveries made to Ukraine were loads that could be fit inside vans. This was the first load where we needed a truck to bring it into the country.
The Chernivtsi distribution center recently reached out and mentioned that they were running short of grains. And so we (Veronica) started searching for wholesalers in Romania to purchase from.
This rice will be packaged into care bags for families in need and distributed throughout Ukraine to zones under siege.
