Building an operating room sounds wild, and we volunteers can’t believe that we join such projects and carry them out.
For the first time, our fund got into the Institute of Neurosurgery at the request of the enterprising Злата Краковецкая, who found us after 10 hands because someone advised her. Zlata said that the doctors from home bring the soldiers what they need, from underwear to hygiene, and also buy medicines when needed. We went there for the first time, and then for the second and third time, and saw with our own eyes a whole department of caring honey. workers and soldiers, most of whom are waiting for surgery. The chief surgeon of the department said that they have a dream and plans to open another operating room, where they will make repairs at their own expense, but their funds will definitely not be enough for very expensive specific surgical equipment. This is how our great cooperation began, where our volunteer Helen Kotsar drove everyone who cared to the hospital to attract either funds or equipment.
Now we are happy to announce that the surgery is in the final stage, the only thing left is to find an anesthesiologist and then the valuable time of the military waiting for the operation will be reduced by at least half and there will be an operation and, God willing, there will be a new life, active and healthy.
We thank Anna Gowans for introducing us to Robert from Sweden, Robert Quaak, who, after visiting the hospital for 5 min. immediately from Ukraine he started calling all the Swedes with money and saying that we need a lamp or at least $4,000 for it, and what do you think – Voila, the lamp is the highlight of our surgery, which we built together with other caring volunteers. Together with Robert, we are very grateful to Roger Samuelsson, who donated this amount. We thank our doctors for this initiative and the desire to tirelessly and relentlessly do more, save lives, put them back on their feet, and return to normal life! You people are incredible! A low bow and thanks to everyone who cares, it was a great team effort!
Also, a big thank you to our regular donors and helpers, FrankyandCoen Intothebreach , who also collected $1,000 and donated to the operating room, the boys’ funds went as a contribution to specific stainless furniture for the operating room, which is currently in the process of being completed. Thank you for being with us and always ready to help.
