Initially, we will be supporting a hospice in Sambir, near the city of Lviv, and a community palliative care team in Kyiv.
It is difficult for hospices in Ukraine to purchase the equipment they so desperately need. We will be purchasing enough equipment to last until Christmas 2023, and will be distributing to each hospice on our upcoming visit.
