As many of you know, I have recently returned from a three month volunteer trip to Ukraine. Casey and I joined an on-the-ground volunteer group that, in addition to providing life-saving knowledge in TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care), also purchases and delivers medical supplies directly to both the civilian and military populations and hospitals in frontline regions of eastern and southern Ukraine.
As I looked around each group we taught, I knew that not every pair of eyes that I met would be returning home to their loved ones alive. It was a very somber realization.
Most are not career military, but instead ‘everyday’ people like you and I that have stood up to defend their country. Many have little to no knowledge or training in first aid, let alone TCCC, and most do not have even the most of basic medical supplies.
While we are an entirely self-funded group, it is our aim and purpose to not only provide as much knowledge as we possibly can, but also to provide these warriors with the necessary life saving supplies. Our team has taught approximately 2,000 soldiers to date, continues to do so almost every day and has provided many medical and surgical supplies right to the field medics and hospitals and IFAKs, tourniquets, Israeli bandages, chest seals, both hemostatic and absorbent gauze, and nasal pharyngeal tubes, directly into the hands of soldiers. We want to give these defenders the best chance possible to save their own lives and the lives of their brothers in arms.
I will be returning to Ukraine in spring 2024 to volunteer for another 3 months. My focus again will be in TCCC, along with purchase and delivery of medical supplies to the affected military and civilian populations.
I know that so many of you were incredibly generous in your support for my and Casey’s previous trip, and for that we will be eternally grateful.
As such, I know it is a lot for me to be asking for your support again for my return and supplies. But for the sake of these brave men and women’s lives, I must.
Please know that every little bit truly makes a big difference. I humbly ask that you give what you can.
Thank you.
