When Russia launched its invasion into Ukraine, the Ukrainian people banded together to defend their homeland. As the people of Ukraine fight for their country, medical supplies are needed to ensure survival and provide aid on the battlefield. The conflict has created a health crisis as soldiers are injured in battle, civilians are injured in bombings, and medical professionals are dealing with limited resources. Sending supplies can be the difference between life and death for those fighting for their land and homes. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine lists bandages and tourniquets as key medical supplies needed on the frontlines. Hemostatic bandages are used to stop blood flow from major and minor wounds and used by military medics world-wide. Combat Application Tourniquets are used to apply pressure to a limb or extremity in order to stop the flow of blood. These tools are essential for field medics in Eastern Ukraine and for doctors who may be facing supply shortages. 

Large, heavy-duty steel staples used to anchor logs together in trench construction which are critical for reinforcing frontline defensive positions, stabilizing dugouts, reducing collapse risks, and protecting the lives of Ukrainians are urgently needed. Volunteer metalworkers in eastern Ukraine are working tirelessly to manufacture these defensive reinforcements, however access to reliable materials like steel is limited and expensive in conflict zones. Help us fund the steel stock, tools, and transport to get these essential reinforcements to the frontlines and create stronger, safer conditions for those defending their communities under extremely difficult circumstances."

By sending these supplies you are saving lives - soldiers' lives and civilian lives alike. Make a difference today with the purchase of this simple gift that keeps the Ukrainian people safe and lets them know we are with them.
