Supporting
I have been buying tactical medical gear as well as sourcing nearly expired hospital disposables and equipment, and delivered them myself to Ukraine. I have recently partnered with the Medical Life Lines Ukraine whom I now use as my main logistical channel.
Ukrainians
I know everyone involved personally, and you could look into their eyes too.
Having gone to work alongside my colleagues at a major clinical centre in Kyiv in March, 2023, I am planning more visits like that in the near future.
