HOG Delivering CATs to Ukraine

 

Standing Strong with Determination, Compassion, and Support

April 2025:

As the war in Ukraine rages on, we at Hands On Global remain committed to our mission of providing critical support to those affected by this devastating conflict. Our Team #8 is on its way back to Ukraine, working in close collaboration with Sign International Fracture Care to deliver much-needed orthopedic supplies—life-saving tools that can help save limbs and provide a glimmer of hope to those suffering from horrific injuries.

Additionally, we continue our vital work with STOP THE BLEED, providing military-grade tourniquets that are essential in saving lives. With each passing day, the toll of this war grows heavier. Ukraine is weary—its people have endured unimaginable hardship, and the physical and emotional scars of this war are deeply felt by every individual. The economy is teetering on the brink of collapse, and hospitals, despite the unwavering resilience of the surgeons, are overwhelmed. These healthcare heroes have become experts in trauma care, but their resources to perform life-saving surgeries are dwindling, and they are in desperate need of supplies.

This is where we come in. Hands On Global’s mission has been to deliver these critical supplies to hospitals, front-line triage centers, and wherever else they are needed most. Our role is vital in ensuring that healthcare providers have the necessary tools to treat the wounded, and that hope continues to flow through the healthcare system, even as it faces overwhelming strain.

Our team will also be doing volunteer work with IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) in Zhytomyr, where we’ll be providing support and resources to people who have lost everything. Their resilience and strength in the face of such adversity are a testament to the spirit of Ukraine, but they need continued support to rebuild their lives and communities.

Through all of this, we are standing beside our Ukrainian colleagues and the people of Ukraine, offering our unwavering support and determination. We continue to hope and pray for a peaceful resolution to this war, and for a future where the people of Ukraine can rebuild and thrive without fear.

But we cannot do this alone. The road ahead is long, and the needs are great. We call upon our community—our supporters, donors, and partners—to continue standing with us. Every donation, every act of compassion, and every word of encouragement makes an enormous difference in the lives of those who are suffering.

Together, with determination, compassion, and unwavering support, we will continue to stand beside Ukraine in this dark time and work towards a brighter, peaceful future. Thank you for your continued support.

Please extend your compassion to Ukrainians by providing them with these crucial tourniquets. Your support will signify solidarity from the USA.

Hands on Global Continues Work in Ukraine, May 2024

HOG teams were first called to Ukraine in March 2022. Working with the Ministry of Health of Western Ukraine we provided primary medical care and medication to the IDP’s (internally displaced people) in Ukraine for six months. Our support continues with teams returning to Ukraine to deliver critical trauma supplies, medications and complex orthopedic equipment to hospitals and front line medics.

Hands on Global collaborates with SIGN INTERNATIONAL FX CARE to bring these orthopedic supplies that are limb saving.

We are committed to supporting medical needs in Ukraine and will continue to source and deliver these needed supplies.

Thank you for supporting Hands On Global’s humanitarian work. There is so much need at times it feels overwhelming. Our team is small but one of action and with your help we continue to work “hand to hand and heart to heart”.

Thank you,
Valerie Hellermann, Executive Director
