Neurology Medications Arrive in Kharkiv

On April 7, 2022 we sent $6,071.50 worth of prescription anti-seizure medications, as well as ondansetron, a commonly used anti-emetic, to our colleagues at the Kharkiv City Children’s Neurological Hospital No. 5 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. We used Nova Poshta’s humanitarian shipment route, and anticipated delivery might take around ten days. That was overly optimistic. Earlier this week, the shipment finally arrived. It took longer than we had hoped, but considering we were shipping into a war zone, and Kharkiv has been under constant bombardment by Russian invaders for the past several months, some delay was inevitable.

Thank you to our donors for making this shipment possible! We’d like to share with you the video below, hosted on our new YouTube channel:
