How can you get involved?
BRATISLAVA / The border between Ukraine and Slovakia has been crossed by several thousand people who are fleeing the war and often have their lives packed, but also the lives of their children in one suitcase or bag. The Slovaks have decided to help, so volunteers are mobilizing throughout the country and organizing collections. Blood donation is also important.
The most transparent is the page Who will help Ukrainethat maps who can also help those who help not only people. People who know how to provide psychological help to war refugees can also apply as volunteers. Financial donations are also welcome.
In Bratislava, the current collection takes place on the Border Square in Bratislava, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday between 10:00 and 16:00. They will send baths with volunteers to the Ukrainian border and the cars they want to fill with the most needed – bottled water and durable food, such as packaged bread, canned food, bag soups, pâtés, but also sausages. The initiative is covered by a medical humanitarian organization Magna. The coordinator is Branislav Tomšu.
Blood donation calls
Red Cross pointed out that when organizing humanitarian aid, Mr.weary every hand, for example in administrative operations, but also in the distribution of material. This challenge mainly concerns the east of Slovakia, where people are crossing the border.
Most important, however, are the current supply of blood that will be used in the hospital, even for people who were injured after the military attacks. The Red Cross thus reorganizes mobile blood donations, but you can also use transfusion centers.
