Today Ukraine honors its medics, doctors, nurses, medical personnel and those who support them. Awards are being given.
Every combat medic, every civilian Search and Rescue medic should be honored as they risk their lives, they are targets of Russian attacks, and double taps.
Thank you to each and every one of them, those who are still with us, and those who gave their lives in the service of and to save others.

As we prepare to post our annual review and report we'd like to share IGor Jèfe 's interview which beautifully describes what we do and why. Igor is a cherished board member who is Ukrainian and discusses our work and his time in Ukraine.

Last winter we ran a Donorbox campaign "Warmth in the Cold: A Winter Care Package for Ukraine" with Kerry Stromberg Secrest for winter items for Ukraine's defenders.

The items included were: a mini cook stove, rechargeable hand warmers, warm socks, a fleece hat and gloves, instant coffee, protein bars, and beef jerky, along with delicious Vermont maple candy, and personal notes of support to Ukraines defenders

In the attached photos below you will see some of the items we purchased and in general, how items are procured, both purchased and donated, picked up, taken to our four warehouses (2 in the US and 2 in Ukraine), sorted for shipping, shipped and received in Ukraine.

Transportation is a significant part of our costs. We could not do any of this without our donors.

We work quietly procuring, and delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine. As we prepare our next container shipment, Russia is bombing the hell out of Ukraine including its holiest sites. The targets are primarily civilian. Tonight, Russia destroyed the Pechersk-Lavra, one of Ukraine's holiest and a UNESCO heritage site.

Thank you Ambassador Varvuolis, Kerry Stromberg Secrest Christian Stromberg from all of us at Blue/Yellow USA. Kyiv is freezing cold as is the rest of Ukraine. Work in our warehouses, as in much of Ukraine, is done with generators when it's possible to get them. For Ukraine's defenders, they, along with hand warmers, and all critical things to keep warm and dry are greatly needed. Please donate and continue to support Ukraine.
