UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2014 UNWLA ESTABLISHES AID TO UKRAINIAN WAR VICTIMS PROGRAM The Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA) announces the lau nching of its humanitarian Aid to Ukrainian War Victims Program by funding the shipment costs of a container of the following medical equipment to Ukraine: anesthesia machine Ohmeda Excell 2105e (Serial # AMAY0155) with attached Ohmeda 7800 ventilator; HP monitor model M109413 (Serial # 3527184264); operating room table, Bovie Machine-electro cautery, blanket heater, x-ray table and 41 large boxes of surgical supplies procured by Dr. Gennadiy Fuzaylov of Doctors Collaborating to Help Children (DCtoHC) and d on ated by Boston-area hospitals. Simultaneously, the UNWLA dispersed almost $10,000 to help war victims in Poltava, Kolomyya, and L’viv. The UNWLA has also (through DCtoHC) purchased trauma supplies at the cost of $35,000, which will be sent within a week of this release to help wounded servicemen. In addition, on September 17, 2014, $5,000 in financial aid was distributed to the wounded in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk hospitals. WHAT IS THE UNWLA’S HISTORY OF HUMANITARIAN AID? The UNWLA has a 90-year history as a reliable and trustworthy donor of humanitarian aid to Ukrainians wherever they may live. It is a tax-exempt 501.3c charitable organization, and as such, may not help with armaments, military supplies, or support for military institutions. Therefore, aid has been sent to individual wounded soldiers and their families as well as other civilians affected by the war. These monetary grants and material supplies were clearly targeted for medical assistance, sustenance, and ot h- er humanitarian support. Since its founding in 1925, by visionary Ukrainian women, the UNWLA has been a premier response organization in aid to Ukrainians in need. Through its broader Social Welfare Program, the organization has contributed, among other causes, funds for domestic disaster relief through the Red Cross; repeatedly for flood victims in western Ukraine; long-term support for victims of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster; educational programs that promote health and safety such as aid to p e- diatric burn victims in Ukraine and the proposed Burn Prevention Campaign in Ukraine; the UNWLA Chornobyl Fund contributed $200,000 toward the purchase of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit for the Kyiv Clinical Center for Trauma and Emergency Medicine; besides thousands of dollars in medical and surgical supplies, the UNWLA purchased 4 blood analyzers at the cost of $126,000 for the Regional Pediatric Hospital in L’viv (now Hospital # 10); through its Books for Ukraine Program the do c- tors in this hospital received invaluable medical books for their teaching program; and more recently, the UNWLA delivered over $100,000 in humanitarian aid to the wounded on the Maidan. WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE AID TO UKRAINIAN WAR VICTIMS FUND? It is intended that the humanitarian Aid to Ukrainian War Victims Fund will contribute to the immediate and long-term needs of both the wounded warriors as well as civilians injured in the war for dignity, and who will need support to ensure they are able to live as rewarding and independent a life as possible. The goal and challenge of the proposed project is to identify patients, help provide medical and surgical care, treat them, and enable their physical and emotional rehabilitation. We ask you to join us and support the UNWLA’s new chapter of i ts important humanitarian work.
