Ukraine Support
Hi there,
We are connected to a medical charity delivering pharmaceutical aid to regions that have recently been de-occupied in Ukraine but are still without electricity, water or government support. A vast majority of the people we are reaching are elderly and injured, or those without international passports who are unable to leave Ukraine. There are a few children also. Many of the villages are entirely annihilated, some we visited have never had anyone from outside come to them, yet are living in areas of constant threat and risk of attack, they weep when we arrive. The pressure of being there is great, even as we have visited there have been explosions in the background the whole time. There are no shops. We want to see justice for their lives and for this part of the journey to be made safer and easier. The communities are entirely reliant on the donations of the volunteers who come, but due to the locations the government only issues permissions to medical and military personnel into these regions.
We are privileged to be in a position to serve and run short trips every 2 weeks to allow time to fundraise, gather items and recalibrate in-between trips as it takes 10 hours to drive to these regions and there are many broken bridges which can result in diversions and delays.
We are looking for financial support to be able to purchase pharmaceutical items and for fuel.
Medicines are very expensive out here.
We can also buy personal hygenine and food items to give out. (vegetables and Ukrainian preferences) here to take to the people.
Getting things into Ukraine by van is possible, the queues can be up to 25 hours for vans and lorries however.
We are looking for the following items to be supplied or finances to purchase this side:
-
Medicines
-
Official first aid kits (the green boxes are £80 out here)
-
Powerful torches
-
Wind up lanterns
-
Batteries

There is so much need and there are thousands of villages still unreached without products and support.
Thank you for any help and assistance in both and prayer and practical support is so important and greatly needed.
If anyone has connections with corporations who may be willing to help sponsor Rosie & Rosie’s outreach, or provide some of the items would be so great and supportive too.
Blessings,
Rosie Neave
