InterVol Aid Shipment for Ukraine
On Sunday, April 3, 2022 we sent 103 lbs (46.8 kg) of medical supplies via FedEx from Rochester NY to the Nova Poshta office in New Jersey. Nova Poshta then ships to Ukraine, and we have tagged this shipment for the Prof. O.I. Meschanynov Emergency Medical Care Hospital in Kharkiv.
This is a very special shipment, as it contains wound care supplies generously donated by Dr. Ralph Pennino and the InterVol medical aid organization. We are so grateful for their support. These items are urgently needed in Kharkiv right now.
InterVol is a Rochester-based nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting the world’s neediest to materials, people, and opportunities. They recover and redistribute medical supplies and equipment, provide medical consultations in places with limited access to care, and have a proven track record of building long-term partnerships with healthcare workers around the world. We are so pleased to be collaborating with them to bring life-saving medical supplies to our friends in need in Ukraine.
