Ukraine needs unwanted crutches

Does anyone have unneeded crutches to give away for free? Ewa from the Nasz Dom Foundation is collecting mobility crutches, unwanted by you and NHS, for soldiers and people in Ukraine.

The equipment is then transported free of charge to the city of Poznań in Poland, from where the local Nasz Dom Foundation once a month transports the most necessary items in a van to Ukraine, especially wheelchairs, crutches, dressings (compression bandages, bandages in general, etc.), underwear for soldiers, medicines, etc.

Here is a message from Ewa:

I have heard that people sometimes have old crutches and don’t know what to do with them, NHS doesn’t want them back, so – after consulting with all the saints – I thought that here in Edinburgh we could help by collecting unwanted crutches.

Two transports are already in Ukraine – and from what Voytek – the organizer – said, they are very much expected and very needed. (A lot of people with amputations). These transports are delivered directly to one of the hospitals and to soldiers from the frontline.
