PAM Rehabilitation Hospital of Dover Continues To Collect Donations For Ukraine
DOVER, Del. - Local relief efforts for families in Ukraine continue as we mark a month since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. One Ukrainian doctor with PAM Rehabilitation Hospital of Dover is helping families fleeing the war one shipment at a time.
Dr. Kirill Alekseyev has been collecting donations every week to then ship out to Ukraine.
The Ukrainian native says since the war began to unfold he knew he had to do something to help his family and others in need.
"We're going to load up all the items we collected over the week and then we're going to take it to a church in Harrisburg Pennsylvania where they have 40-50 volunteers sort through everything box everything label everything and then he's actually coming from New Jersey where he was dropping off 10 pallets of medical supplies to get ready to ship," explained Alekseyev.
A variety of things like medicine, medical supplies and baby supplies are being sent out weekly.
"He's going to deliver it probably sometime next week, soon as the plane is full, he's going to be flying down, personally supervising all the supplies and material into Ukraine right across the polish borders," added Alekseyev.
A joint effort to stand in solidarity for those suffering during a war.
"There's something that everybody can do and if we all come together, continue to come together weekly, we're going to make sure that number one we pray through this, they have these needs and they're not going away," said Dave Tiberi, the president of Emergency Response Protocol.
