UNITED UKRAINIAN FELLOWSHIP CHARITY

 raises money for British ambulances that they refurbish, fill with humanitarian aid and ship to Ukraine. Their direct dialogue with hospitals and a network of volunteers in the epicentre of war locations enables them to deliver supplies to make a real and life saving impact.

Last winter I teamed up with them to raise money for purchasing ADHESIVE HEAT PADS which UUF kindly transported to Ukraine in their ambulances and distributed to people whose homes had been destroyed, had no heating and were struggling to survive in cellars and basements in  damp, sub zero temperatures and for injured people who needed fluids and medications that could only be administered at body temperature. (The nurses and doctors devised a clever ‘box heating system’ with the pads to warm up fluids.)

They proved to be invaluable for saving lives, warming & comforting people for up to 12 hours at a time.

With the help of kind friends and businesses we raised nearly £3000 & delivered approximately 45,000 hours of heat.

THE APPEAL:

This winter I’d like to increase that wonderful donation enough to be able to make a much larger and direct order with a heat pad supplier in China and ship them directly from the manufacturer to the UUF storage facility in Poland where they can be distributed through their network of volunteers in Ukraine.

It takes around 3 months to ship them. I’m starting this appeal now so that we can send the heat pads in time for the darkest, coldest months of winter: January/February.

Delivering them direct to Poland would save a lot of money compared to shipping them half way around the globe and back and free up space in UUF’s ambulances. We could also buy more heat pads for our money!

A PROMISE:

100% of any donation you make will go towards buying and shipping the heat pads.

No admin costs will be taken!

HUGE THANKS:

If you are able to give a little to our cause for Ukrainian lives and pass this appeal on to others who feel the same as you; we will pass on your Baton of Good Will with heartfelt thanks and joy.

CARE:

For those concerned about the possible environmental impact of self adhesive heat pads; I have checked their composition and the contents are natural compounds that will not cause any damage to people, soil or plants. It’s only the packaging that needs to be disposed of with care.
