UKRAINE - DELIVERY OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES
Project SummaryMichael and his wife have strong contacts in Ukraine. They would like to use them to deliver medical supplies to the country and the affected population. Support the project now with a donation!
My wife and I have tried everything in the past to conceive a child. After many miscarriages and great disappointments, we heard about the possibility of having children via surrogate mothers in Ukraine. We found an organisation in Kyiv in 2019. In December 2019, our son Jonathan was born in Kyiv. My spouse and I immediately flew to Kyiv and received our son there. However, we had to stay in Ukraine until April due to all the official procedures. I commuted back and forth and my wife always stayed there and took care of our son. We have grown very fond of the people in Ukraine and also of the surrogate mother and through our son, Ukraine and its people have become part of our family. When Russian troops attacked Ukraine on 24 February, my wife and I cried for most of the day. We very quickly started a first fundraising campaign and were able to collect quite a few francs in the first few days. We bought medical supplies for Ukraine and drove them to the Ukrainian embassy in Bern. Aditionally, I have been on the 2650m high Winterhorn with my touring skis and there, I attached a Ukrainian flag to the summit cross.
I met Taras Panasenko through LinkedIn. Taras is the CEO of AVRORA shops in Ukraine. These shops offer goods and materials for everyday use. AVORA has 715 shops across Ukraine. I have already been in contact with Taras and I would like to use the donated money to transport medical supplies to an external warehouse in Poland, where Taras can collect them and distribute them in Ukraine. He knows Ukraine and through the wide spread of shops, he also has a very high distribution density and can therefore distribute the medical supplies wherever they are needed in Ukraine.
As soon as I have collected the money, I will ask Taras which medicines or medical supplies are currently needed, as this can always change very quickly. With the 30000 CHF, I am sure that a whole van can be filled with medicines and other medical supplies and that some health organisations or smaller hospitals can be supplied with them. As with my last collection campaign, I will try to get the van for free and then personally deliver the medical supplies to Taras in Poland.
We have collected more than 14'000 CHF for Ukraine. Thank you very much!
The goal of 30,000 CHF was not reached, but the money will still be released by the crowdfunding organization to buy medical supplies for Ukraine!
Unfortunately, the enemy invasion in Ukraine is still not over and the medical supplies are needed more urgently than ever. I am very happy that the crowdfunding organization still released the amount even if the 30'000 CHF were not reached. I would like to thank everyone who donated, you are amazing!!! Thank you very much. Where do we go from here:
Ukrainian non-food retail chain Avrora cooperates with two relief organizations:
An employee of Avrora has already clarified with the organizations which medical supplies are needed. I will now buy these items and then drive them to Poland to a handover location. The next update will be when I have handed over the items. I would like to thank everyone again for their donations. Your donations save lives.
Kind regards Michael

We will send the donation receipt (for Switzerland) in January of the following year.
Due to the war in Ukraine, more and more people are forced to flee the country. However, a large part of the Ukrainian population does not want to or cannot leave the country. They also need support and are particularly dependent on relief supplies from the outside. Through Michael's contact, it can be ensured that urgently needed materials actually arrive where they are most required.
