April 2024: The war in Ukraine continues and with it complex injuries to civilians and frontline protectors. Tourniquets, also known as CATs, are a crucial life and limb saving immediate tool to STOP THE BLEED and Ukraine needs thousands.
According to the PROTEZ FOUNDATION (a Ukrainian prosthetic company based in Minnesota and Ukraine), there are more than 59,000 Ukrainians in need of prosthetics as a result of the war. Many of these are children. It is a life-long disability.
Tourniquets give the chance to stop the bleed and save a limb.
Our goal is to purchase 3,000 CATs. Please consider supporting this campaign. Your contribution may be the one that saves a life and limb.
Recently HOG has found a source to purchase the CATs of similar quality in the Ukraine. By shifting where we source the CATS we:
- stretch the dollar by saving on the price of the tourniquet ($15 each versus $24 in the USA)
- eliminate the transportation costs
- money is spent in Ukraine thereby helping their economy.
