What is needed?
⚠️ Please make sure to check the latest information about the aid supplies required from the official Ukrainian sources (see below).
❤️
Medicaments and first aid kits are the most needed humanitarian help at the moment. If you don’t know yet what to buy, please buy medicines. Food, hygienic supplies and especially clothes are more or less stocked.

⚠️ What if the medicine is sold only with a prescription?
Many medical supplies need a prescription. The official letter from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine is explaining the situation and asking for help. The printed version of this letter on a number of occasions served as a prescription and helped volunteers to purchase restricted medicines in local pharmacies.
Please make sure the aid is appropriately prepared for the shipment:
Pack all the goods in a way that allows them to reach Ukraine undamaged (e.g. boxes).
Detail the contents of the package (i.e. what, how much, etc.). The text should be in English and be easily noticeable. Use permanent markers, stickers, etc.
Write "FOR UKRAINE", "UKRAINE SUPPORT", "UA AID", "HUMANITARIAN AID FOR UKRAINE" on the boxes.
