Did you know 30 euros can save a life?

I am Kelly. I have been working with Ukranian refugees for over a year and we are sending regular aid to Ukraine. We’re able to confirm that what we send is arriving and has direct impact on people’s lives. 

I would like to specifically collect money for "Life saving stop the bleeding kits".  I decided to run the half marathon of Amsterdam for this good cause, because I’ve seen the impact that these kits can have on bringing family members home safely.  I see the pain and desperation in eyes of wives and children who just want to have their loved ones return, while hearing every day of people dying. 
So... I am collecting giving more fathers/husbands/loved ones a decent chance of survival!

Each kit consists of:

• bag for meds and life saving kit : 15 euro
• chest seals:  22.5 euro (e.g H vent https://www.militarycollectibles4u.nl/a-77677397/medisch/h-vent-safeguard-h-vent-chest-seal-per-2-stuks-exp-9-2027/#description)
• Tourniquet  gen 7: 30 euro (ideally mutiple) (https://www.medicalllifesupport.nl/woundstop-bleeding-control-stop-de-bloeding/stop-de-bloeding-massieve-bloedingen/c-a-t-tourniquet-gen7-oranje-of-zwart-/)
• rolled gauze
• Celox Z bandage: 48 euros (https://www.nltactical.nl/nl/brands/celox-medical/)
• Gloves, markers, scissor, thermal blanket sheet

I can guarantee the arrival of the medical gear and show full photo report (see some examples of photos on the right), including any picture or drawing you would like to include. We regularly send drawings that kids make, for instance. You can either donate money and I can buy equipment and will personally pack, or I can give you links and let you buy the equipment :).
Feel free to talk to me at any point about more details of what we do and I am happy to share stories and photos and tell you about other ways to help.

More photos can also be found if befriending Helen Perepeliza on facebook.

After providing touniquets several lifes were saved by using the tourniquets we donated within a few weeks (3 lifes saved for 150 euros!). 
I know we already saved lifes, but we can do more!

Donations also welcome via paypal [email protected] or as for a tikkie if that’s easier. 

Thank you so much for your support. Any donation, small or big is welcome!

PS: I will run on October the 16th and post updates here.
