This year my birthday is quiet and full of hope at the same time. I chose the picture of my daughter because she is the symbol of hope and future for me.
The best I can do with my birthday this year is to donate it to Ukraine Charity. Given the acute humanitarian crisis created by the Russian invasion, Ukraine Charity is now
fundraising for emergency medical supplies for Ukrainian hospitals.
A team of volunteers is currently liaising with the Ukrainian national healthcare system and verified local NGOs on the one side, and with suppliers that can address these needs on the other side. I know many of them personally and they have my full trust and admiration. The current focus is on first aid. Critical supplies to be secured at the next stage include portable ventilators, patient monitors, defibrillators, ultrasound diagnostic devices, first aid kits and emergency surgery equipment.
I hope that with our joint efforts the world where our children live would be a kinder and safer place.
Thank you for your support
Alina
