Forty containers. Over 540,000 pounds of medical aid. And we're just getting started.
On August 24th, Ukraine marks 35 years since restoring its independence. Today, on World Humanitarian Aid Day, we're marking a milestone of our own: StandWithUkraineMN just shipped our 40th 40-foot high-cube container of medical supplies to Ukraine.
Thirty-five years after Ukrainians restored their independence, they're fighting for the basic right to live freely in their own country. For us, standing with Ukraine means standing with the doctors and nurses who are saving lives every single day while their brave country fights for its future.
Here's what our community has shipped since 2022:
- 40 forty-foot High Cube containers
- 800 pallets of medical supplies
- 540,000+ pounds of medical supplies aiding 340,560 people
Stack those 800 pallets on top of each other, and they'd reach about 6,000 feet into the sky. It is more than a mile of medical supplies, end to end!
These are just numbers until you see what happens next.
We track every delivery. We get reports and photos back from Ukraine showing exactly where these supplies end up and who's using them. Watch these photos and you'll see doctors and nurses all over Ukraine opening boxes, and you notice happiness on their faces. These supplies aren't treasured because they're gifts. They're treasured because of what they make possible: treating badly wounded patients, performing critical procedures, managing complex wounds, stabilizing fractures, helping people walk again, giving people a real shot at healing and going home to the people who love them.
None of this happens without an incredible chain of people helping people. Hospitals and medical organizations across the US donate supplies. Volunteers spend hours sorting and packing them. Partners help move pallets and load containers. Donors cover the cost of getting everything to Ukraine. Volunteers on the ground in Ukraine distribute it based on what hospitals actually need. And Ukrainian doctors and nurses close the loop, using these supplies directly for their patients' care.
We are grateful to everyone who helps make this mission possible: MATTER, Global Health Ministries, Ukrainian Village Band, HUCUS Foundation, Grace of God Aid, Dnipro LLC, Hapag-Lloyd AG, Unifeeder Group, Гуманітарна Нова пошта, ГО «Волонтерська Родина України», ГО «Ефективне Життя», ГО "Сумський Бабський Батальйон -ТИЛ" and many other organizations and individuals that contribute to the success of each delivery!
Forty containers is a milestone. It's not the finish line. We already have more medical supplies ready to go, and we need your help getting the next containers to Ukraine over the coming months.
Every donation gets us one step closer to shipping the next container and one step closer to a Ukrainian doctor who's waiting for it and a patient who needs it.
Help us ship the next container. Help Ukrainian doctors save lives. Help Ukraine heal while it fights for freedom.
