The First Truck from France Arrives in Zhytomyr
Today is an extraordinary day – our first truck from the Auvergne province of France has arrived exactly at its destination!
Volunteers from Different Countries Unite for Ukraine
It is truly exceptional when Ukrainians in different countries find opportunities to help our native Zhytomyr region and Ukraine as a whole. Sincere thanks to Ella Interprète, the Auvergne region, and all the VOLUNTEERS!
The Story of an Incredible Deed
I want to share incredible stories about how we receive such shipments! One Ukrainian woman in France did something extraordinary – being nine months pregnant, Ella Pratsiovyta mobilized the city of Clermont-Ferrand in France and went to the city square in support of Ukraine. The impetus for this was a call from the heart, as well as the fact that one of the doctors in the Zhytomyr region is her father, Oleksandr Pratsiovytyi, who asked for help in providing the necessary medicines and medical equipment for our Zhytomyr Regional Oncology Dispensary.
Combining Efforts to Collect and Deliver Humanitarian Aid
Within two weeks, all the local volunteers in the vicinity joined the woman. She founded the Association “Agir ensemble pour l’Ukraine” fund, and thanks to the support of Pharmacien Humanitaires d’Auvergne and the caring people of France, they collected the first truckload of medicines to ensure the continuous provision of medicines to our doctors.
Logistics and Delivery
Afterward, the issue arose of safely delivering the necessary medicines from France to Zhytomyr. Here, Ella reached out to us as a trusted organization in Ukraine. Since the delivery of this cargo is quite expensive, we also engaged caring French people from the Zhytomyr region, to whom we are very grateful, namely Thierry Vaissière and Nataliya Mykhailova, who helped us reach the President of the Union of French Abroad (UFE) in Poland, Rougerie Baptiste.
Completing the Delivery
This person helped find the appropriate logistics company Caritas Polska, which agreed to deliver the cargo to Poland, and from there, our truck (thanks to the caring carriers who are helping now), provided by the Zhytomyr Regional Logistics Center, delivered the cargo to the Zhytomyr region. Finally, the long-awaited cargo reached its destination!
Thanks to all the people who were involved, WE ARE TOGETHER! Glory to Ukraine!
