Donum Vitae

Donum Vitae Donum Vitae - non profit 501(c)3 - to deliver vital medical Donum Vitae is 501(c)3 organization formed by Valerie Vasylieva (MD) and Boris Polissky.

As some might know they are married and have the same goal of making a difference in people's lives. Every single penny goes towards supporting their goal

Currently hospitals and clinics that don’t focus on military casualties are not getting much funding or support. There are patients that have been having chronical illnesses and requiring medical supplies on the daily basis. Patients with urost

omy and colostomy need special bags for their stomas, and without one they are risking getting infection. Pediatric departments, OBGYN are in a huge need of over-the-counter painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication. Fever over 104 F is life-threatening for young kids. ICU departments and ambulances that are working in a green zone (war safe zones) are not in priority for receiving humanitarian medical aid, but they still need supplies such as first aid kits, hemostatic products, airbags, IV catheters and blood transfusion kits. Right now during the war a lot of ambulances do not have basic antibiotics and aspirin in their kits. This list can go on for every medical specialty field in Ukraine. In addition to that many elderly patients and people with disabilities are not able to get out of their houses to receive supplies that are distributed by various humanitarian aids as all distribution is done in the specific hubs or areas. Those hubs are usually located in big urban cities and a large number of elderly population actually live in smaller villages. We will have our volunteers in Ukraine deliver needed supplies to specific individuals at their homes. Using the funds collected we acquire and ship the supplies. We also have a list of items that can be ordered on Amazon. We have scheduled weekly shipments

Tourniquets and other medical supplies were delivered successfully. I have a report from one base and confirmation that another shipment was delivered to the hospital. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a photo report from the hospital. According to the report they are not allowed to get a donations from volunteers…. Sad, but looks like a truth.

It feels like a “daylight savings tax” has been levied on us – instead of 24 hours, we’re left with only about 16. I can’t otherwise explain this chronic lack of time! This is precisely why we haven’t posted anything new since the beginning of the year.

But please don’t think for a second that nothing has been happening! During this time, we hosted a charity evening at the gallery and raised funds. We also sent 40 tourniquets, bandages, and other wound care supplies to Ukraine.

Then, in early June, we shipped 50 more tourniquets, along with 6 intraosseous access devices (NIOs), and various ointments for wound care and anti-inflammatory medications, specifically requested by Ukrainian doctors.

We’re still working hard, still supporting Ukraine, and we truly believe in its swift victory!

Hello, Friends!

Our nonprofit is on a mission to support civilian and military hospitals by delivering much-needed medical supplies directly to Ukraine. The need is greater than ever, and the cost of these supplies is high. We're incredibly touched and honored by the amazing support from our community and friends.

We have some exciting news! One of our dear friends, a fantastic photographer with over 20 years of experience and the founder of IQ Photo, is generously offering 5 family photo sessions. The best part? All the fees will go directly to Donum Vitae. Each session costs $750, which is an incredible deal for such high-end, professional photography.

These sessions are not just about photos; they're about creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones while supporting a truly worthy cause. You can check out the photographer's amazing work at [IQ Photo Family Portrait Photography](https://www.iqphoto.com/specialties/family-portrait-photography).

Interested? Just shoot us an email at [email protected] and put "Donum Vitae" in the subject line. We can't wait to work with you and are so grateful for your support.

Looking for a family photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area? We have a number of packages starting at $300. We do so much more than posed portraits.
