Helping Ukraine

[mallorcamum]

First of all , I can’t not believe that I am even having to write this - my heart is broken. I can not believe that in 2022, this is even happening here in Europe, that a psychopath has actually invaded another European country for no reason.

So I’ve been wanting to write this blog for a few days now, but I have been so busy with collecting Donations for the Ukraine I have had zero free time.

Last week I got word of a Ukrainian church here in Mallorca that was collecting things to get over to the people who need it at refugee camps, I immediately started asking friends here on the island , started posting in local Facebook groups , WhatsApp groups, everywhere I could think of.

People’s responses have been amazing , so far I have done 3 collections and drop offs and I plan on doing so as long as needed.

Every single image breaks my heart , the people in the Ukraine are like you and me , hard working , normal people , they should not be invaded , Innocent people should not have their homes , businesses , LIVES taken away from them , they have done nothing wrong.

We also need to remember that the Russians are victims too , they are being forced to fight in a war they didn’t want , they don’t want ! We can not retaliate and hurt innocent Russians , the only thing we can do Is disable Putin , stop him from being able to function on this planet until he is no longer able to continue his barbaric reign.

He is no better than Hitler , he is a dictator killing innocent people , he needs to be stopped , until then we need to support the people of Ukraine , we need to stand with them , help them as much as we can.

Here is a list of things that the Ukrainian church here needs, written by a girl who’s working with them. This is not a chain message or Chain list of what is needed in the Ukraine , this is a hand written list from a Ukrainian girl who’s in close contact with Ukrainian aid organizations, if anyone has any of this things to spare , I can meet up one day and make sure it gets to her , she will take it.

Medications , bandages etc first aid
medications for burns
for stomach
Hydrogen peroxide
Betadin
bandage tourniquets
diapers
antivirals
Rubber gloves
syringes
tape
Bandages of all kinds
Canned (beans tuna etc)
Energy bars
Biscuits
tea and coffee
Any food prepared and packaged in cans NOT GLASS
Sleeping bag
batteries
power banks
Headphones
flashlights
Toothpaste and toothbrushes
wet napkins
Soap
Disposable tableware.

If anyone in Mallorca sees this and can help , you can drop off supplies all day everyday. If you are close to Cala Millor I can even pick them up and take them myself. There are organizations you can donate to as well - they need all the help they can get.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

You deserve a huge pat on the back for organising this. I hear the weather forecast for parts of Ukraine is 'bloody freezing', just to make matters even worse.

Hopefully these things make it to the right places.
