The inventory of these shipments reflects the enormous generosity our donors and the diversity of the supplies provided. We are just so impressed with the initiative of our donors, who are reaching out to us asking We have these supplies/medications, can you use them? The answer is almost always yes, the exception being we do not send expired prescription medications or over-the-counter products that have already been opened.
Tomorrow we will have an exciting update about the status of our shipments to date, news regarding our next large prescription medication shipment, and very exciting news about our new non-profit affiliation that will improve our logistics, streamline our workflow, increase our fundraising reach, and allow us to even more successfully fulfill our mission of delivering medicines and supplies to Ukrainian hospitals.
