As we approach the 1-month mark of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there is a desperate need for medical supplies.
Atlanta-based Hope Worldwide is working in conjunction with Heart to Heart International to bring in 15 tons (52 palates) of medical trauma supplies to hospitals in Ukraine.
The shipments should reach the Polish/Ukraine border in the next 15-20 hours.
Hope Worldwide is also working to get non-perishable food, powdered food, protein drinks, and water filters to people who remain in Ukraine, especially around Kiev and Mariopoul.
