Brother's Brother Neurology Med Shipment Arrives

We have great news! The Brother’s Brother Neurology Med Shipment for Ukraine sent on May 1, 2022 has arrived!

Shipment arrives in Lviv.

Dr. Tetyana Nehrych and Dr. Olha Tychkivska, neurologists in Lviv Ukraine, with parcels of anti-seizure medications from our donors.

This shipment contained $7226.40 worth of prescription anti-seizure medications, anti-nausea medications, prednisone, as well as an additional amount of over-the-counter medications and wound care supplies that were generously donated by healthcare workers at the Golisano Children’s Hospital, in Rochester NY.

Shipment arrives in Lviv.

Half of these supplies go immediately to our child neurology colleague Dr. Tetyana Nehrych at the Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital.

Levetiracetam and ondansetron, ready to be distributed in Lviv.

Shipment arrives in Lviv.

Carbamazepine and valproic acid, also ready for distribution to epilepsy patients in Lviv.

The other half of these supplies were then transported on to the Children’s Hospital No 5 in Kharkiv – where we are happy to announce they safely arrived!

A special addition to this shipment were hand-written cards from our youngest donors to the children of Ukraine. These cards really touched our friends in Kharkiv, and this is what they had to say:

Message from friends in Kharkiv.

“Today was definitely a great day! We received 2 parcels from Lviv!! However, after a night of thunder and lightning and flying rockets – to top that off the best gift was the warm letters of support and wishes of peace and prosperity for the country and families.”

Our friends at Children’s Hospital No 5 also recorded some video, which we would like to share with you on our YouTube channel:

We are grateful to our generous donors for making this shipment possible, and also to Brother’s Brother Foundation for taking care of the shipping, and for their ongoing strong humanitarian support for the people of Ukraine.

We will have more updates soon on other shipments!
