Asters' aid to the needy and distressed through the Red Cross, 100 people, a budget of UAH 1000 per person. We have divided this initiative into two steps: the first part of the aid has been already distributed by the Red Cross volunteers (quality food ration packs + info leaflets); the second part is planned to be distributed in a few weeks (food ration packs + letters of support from Asters' employees).
We have purchased 250 PCR tests worth UAH 57,000 and 1 medical ventilator worth UAH 760,000 – the supplier will provide personnel training, adequate delivery and installation, and warranty period maintenance; there is a waiting list, and we expect delivery in mid-May.
The ventilator was found with assistance from Citronelle restaurant whose team regularly delivers lunches to medical workers – 100 meals. Volunteer teams within Asters – we have 2 volunteer groups uniting approx. 30 people who have raised nearly UAH 100,000. They are providing help to several hospitals (lab coats, respirators, gloves, etc.), and have recently aided a family in need – a mother and her disabled daughter who have relocated from Donetsk and are now living in Bila Tserkva.
