Ableworld donates mobility equipment to Ukraine!
This entry was posted in General May 10, 2022As you know, millions of people have no safe place to call home. More than 3 million have already left Ukraine, while countless more are still trapped underground, taking cover from the shelling and desperate for a safe escape.
Hundreds of thousands of people still have no food, no water, no medical care, and no heat or electricity.
The Polish Integration Support Centre (PISC) have been working around the clock to get donations to those who need it most, both in Ukraine and its bordering countries. Shortly after the invasion of Ukraine was reported, Anna Buckley, Project Director of PISC, launched a rapid drive for donations towards refugees and those displaced by the conflict.
Ableworld, strives to support local charities where possible, offering support to others in need. So, when approached by PISC, Ableworld and one of their suppliers Drive DeVilbiss were more than happy to help! Ableworld and Drive DeVilbiss donated 10 wheelchairs, a variety of walking frames and crutches, all to support the struggling hospitals in Ukraine.
Thanks to the outstanding effort from volunteers and Anna. There has been a total of 46 lorries that have been sent to Ukraine and Poland to date, with hopes of many more to go! The focus is now on the lorries to continue to transport the donations. Funding is massively important as each lorry will cost PISC around £2,000-£2,500. Some lorries so far have even travelled into Ukraine to deliver to cities including Kyiv, though most are going to Poland.
Anyone wishing to donate items is encouraged to contact PISC directly on 07523 627826 or [email protected]
