Melinda Baskerville hasn't added a story.
I am Melinda and Sarah, and we are two passionate, highly
skilled Registered Nurses heading to Lesvos, Greece to lend a hand
to the incoming refugees.
Lesvos is experiencing a humanitarian crisis. People are fleeing
their homes to find safe refuge in Europe, and their whole journey
is filled with danger. Aid organizations and the Greek government
are unable to cope with the 125,000 people arriving monthly.
100% of your donations will go directly to the refugees.
We are self-funding all personal costs including flights, car
rentals, petrol, accommodation and food.
When people land on shore after their long journey, they can be
hypothermic, dehydrated, exhausted and scared. With our medical
skills, we will urgently be needed on the north coast, providing
treatment for hypothermia, dehydration and drownings.
Your funds will go to:
1) Emergency Medical Supplies - Dehyrdration: Dehydration is a
killer. We will be buying water, oral rehydration salts, and oral
syringes for child refugees as they come off the boats.
2) Emergency Medical Supplies - Hypothermia: Sometimes coming
over in dinghies, refugees are exposed to the elements and often
travelling at night-time when the wind and rain are ferocious. We
will be buying blankets, dry clothing (socks, underwear, trousers,
hats, gloves, shoes, sleeping bags, tents) and emergency foil
blankets to bring body temperature back to normal.
3) Emergency Medical Supplies - Medical Supplies: Medical needs
can be complex and acute. We will be buying medicine, first aid
kits, wound dressing packs and simple pain relief.
