West Ham United has joined forces with Freedom Boxes to launch a fundraising campaign aimed at supporting the ongoing relief efforts in Ukraine.
Supported by Hammers' Ukrainian international Andriy Yarmolenko, West Ham United, in conjunction with the West Ham United Foundation, are showing their support for a dedicated campaign raising crucial funds for a special project, which brings humanitarian aid to those in desperate need.
From their base in Prague, the Freedom Boxes team prepare, pack and deliver crucial supplies to those in need in the war zone and in bunkers, including nutritional and medical items, and day-to-day necessities for people of all ages.
Freedom Boxes are currently processing four varieties of boxes:
Hero Box - supporting the men and women in Ukraine who have taken up arms.
Family Box - helping families displaced by the fighting who are in desperate need of basic supplies to survive.
Kid's Box - making Ukrainian children smile with some presents, just for them.
Children's Hospital Box - giving Ukrainian children somewhere to sleep while they recover.
In addition, Freedom Boxes are working with children around the world to create goodwill drawings, pictures, and messages that are added to each box, offering words of support for those who receive it.
The completed boxes are sealed and then loaded onto loaned transport vans and delivered to a place on the Ukraine border at a time that is convenient for their Ukraine-based volunteers. From there, the boxes are dropped at the relevant locations, with each box individually registered so that the journey and destination can be recorded.
