“As Important as the Air We Breathe”
This is how the importance of tourniquets was explained to me by one medic. They are needed constantly and, without them, people will die.
Along with my teammates working in Ukraine, we’ve started fundraising to buy 5000 CAT7 tourniquets for the numerous medics, first-responders, and evacuation teams we support. My fundraising goal to support this mission is $10,000. Our non-profit has a PayPal giving fund where you can easily make a tax-deductible donation. One high-quality tourniquet costs $30 can save one life. Click the button or scan the QR code to be taken to the secure donation page. Thank you so much for your contribution… every dollar really does make a difference.
I’ve witnessed the difference these little $30 life-saving pieces of fabric and metal can make. On my last trip to Kharkiv a 550lb (250kg) glider bomb slammed into an apartment building near our location… there was an older woman on the sidewalk that had been hit in the leg and was bleeding severely. If it hadn’t been for the quick reaction of our team and their application of a tourniquet, she certainly would have died within minutes.
Attacks like this happen on a daily basis… often in multiple locations across Ukraine. For this reason, there is a massive, continuous, and urgent need for medical supplies. I shot these photos and video shortly after an attack on Kharkiv on June 22nd of this year and since then, there have been over 725 attacks that targeted civilians, 2,232 Air and drone strikes, and 2,142 shelling events.
Дякую! Thank you!
