Truskavets, Ukraine. Once again, we bring you the latest news about the humanitarian aid in Ukraine through our confrères of the Polska Province:
Dear confrères, benefactors, and friends.
I recently returned from my fifth trip in a car fully loaded with humanitarian aid for the needy in Ukraine.
On this occasion, the following items were purchased and donated to the hospital in Borislav: surgical instruments, an ultraviolet lamp for decontamination of the operating room, bandages, and painkillers. The military hospital in Truskavets received bandages, gauze, bandages, and painkillers. For the sisters of Boryslav I donated bandages, painkillers, and food: canned food, groats, oil, cereals, and gasoline. The sisters deliver these items to the families who come to them for help every day.
Some items were sent to the interior of Ukraine, for the soldiers at the front: underwear, mosquito and tick repellent, and food: pâtés, sugar, and instant coffee.
Assistance was provided to a family from Kharkiv, currently in Truskavets, through the purchase of food and hygiene items, as well as sweets, and the donation of 550 euros to pay the rent for their apartment. For Fr. Christopher, pastor of the parish of Truskavets, I donated 2,500 euros to help refugees who have placed their hope in the Church to receive the necessities of life.
The total value of the fifth transport with transferred money – approx. 22,000 euros.
In Poland, Ukrainian families were equipped: in Warsaw, Łódź, and Wrocław by purchasing food and hygiene products.
The next trip to Ukraine is scheduled for June 26. Next, I will bring orthotics and food, as well as the Volkswagen Caddy car purchased earlier for the school in Pitburz (currently there are 40 children – orphans from eastern Ukraine).
Thank you very much for all the help you have given. It doesn’t always have to be material. Sometimes it takes a kind word, support, a letter, or a prayer to restore someone’s faith and will to live. Therefore, every form of support is valuable. I send you a big thank you from many individuals and individual families for your kind hearts. The soldiers, often ordinary men, who have left their families and their jobs to fight for the freedom of their homeland and their future, are also grateful for your kindness.
Thank you!
Brother Tadeusz, CMF
