7 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Липень-Cерпень 2022 As the fighting in Ukraine intensifies, so does the need to treat shattered bones and complicated wounds. Two shipments of external fixators, wound vacs, and other medical products recently arrived in Ukraine and were quickly dispersed among Ukrainian hospitals. We constantly communicate with healthcare providers, manufacturers, and suppliers to get this expensive equipment to Ukraine as quickly as possible. When reporting on the shipments being delivered, Ukrainian medics remark that the UNWLA is fulfilling one of the country’s most pressing medical needs. The immeasurable help of our partners keeps bringing much-needed medical aid to Ukraine: The Paul Ches - ter Children's Hope Foundation, TOETAL Podiatry in NY, Plast Ukrainian Scouting Organization – USA, Genadyne Biotechnologies, House of Ukraine, Ukrainian Ameri - can Cultural Center of New Jersey, Stryker, ROC Maidan (Rochester, NY), Ukrainian Orthodox Holy Ascension Church, WBLL Ministry Atlanta Georgia, UNWLA Branch 137 (Clifton, NJ), and many amazing individuals. If you are interested in supporting this mission, please contact Valentyna Tabaka at vatabaka@gmail.com. UNWLA has also participated in Meest’s Food Boxes for Ukraine program to supply individuals in need with wholesome food. With many requests for help coming from orphanages, the UNWLA sponsored 80+ children’s food boxes. From oatmeal to nut-chocolate UNWLA Continues to Support Ukraine with Critical Humanitarian Aid cream, each box contains enough nutritious food to feed a child for about 14 days. Our support of Ukrainian orphanages does not end with food boxes; our funding has also helped the Brovary Kyiv Orphanage. After three days of ardu - ous travel, 84 of the children, ranging from about one month to 3 years old, were evacuated to Poland. The current condition of the orphanage is critical be - cause the team is severely understaffed; out of 100+ caregivers, only 13 agreed to evacuate. A number of Ukrainian refugees who also decided to evacuate with their children became unpaid vol - unteer caregivers. Unfortunately, because they were not compensated, some had to move on to take care of their own families and welfare by seeking regular employment. As of today, there are about 30 Ukrain - ian refugee women providing care for the 84 orphans and 34 other refugee children, which is overwhelm - ing. Because the caregivers are already very under - staffed, the children with disabilities do not receive the proper amount of care and required attention. Thus, funding for more specialized assistance is des - perately needed. The evacuated children resting after their long trip to Poland. The extremely understaffed team of caregivers at the Brovary Orphanage provides round-the-clock care for the children. Doctors setting up a new Genadyne wound vac device.
