Here is what happened…
We received a donation of 20 rehabilitation beds, each about 150 pounds and because our donor, Ken, was so kind he put together with these beds, 6 pallets of antiseptics, walkers and wheelchairs😁
Truck delivered it from Louisiana to Houston TX smooth and fast, thank you Inna Zakharova Vestal, Austin and Shira for great shipping service!
When the truck was on the way to Houston, I found out it’s a huge 18 wheeler truck plus I have no space for everything and it’s impossible to unload all these stuff by ourselves - I am in trouble.
I am so lucky to have in my life Hernan Venegas, after I called him, he said - don’t worry, give me a little time to make a couple phone calls. Herman came back with his response so fast, like I was on fire 😁 and he took care about everything, even more. He organized space for donations in their Sheldon Fire Station, he found a 40 foot container to keep it, he took care about special pallets which will be build for our beds, all team worked together like a clock to unload truck… when rain decided to interrupt us, Herman gave us a cool tour and showed all their magic place include absolutely crazy fire truck. Now we know how these wonderful guys working, what they are doing and why they are so brave with sunshine in the hearts♥️
To meet Asst. Chief Roland Bladeras and Distric Chief Jose Munoz was such a big pleasure for us! We talked a lot - about Ukraine, our families, relationships, new beds project, children, dogs and many other things…
These guys are our Heroes and we are so grateful to know them, what they doing for us it’s absolutely priceless! Thank you so much for your generosity, God Blessed you and your family
Hernan picked up more donations today to complete our container🤩
We are very grateful to him and Sheldon Fire Station!
Exhausted but crazy happy!!!
The driver told us, it was his biggest cargo lol
40 foot container packed from the floor to ceiling 😁
It’s going to Chicago, then by the sea to Poland through Europe. If Europe do not delay then we expect container in Poland about 45 days. From Polish port it will be delivered to Ukraine.
It was real quest to find a way to cover logistics. But everything is possible! Because I have my heroes Sheldon Community Fire & Rescue - I can’t thank you enough!! We are very grateful for everything you have done for Ukraine and Ukrainian people!
I have my amazing girls, who supported me all the time, even when I stopped to believe I can make something happen, they always did.
Everyone brings their own part, donations, efforts, soul, wish, hug, love, smile, help, kind word… thank you so much to be part of us, to be with us.
I understood one thing - when all doors are closed in front of you, just dig a hole or jump through the wall. You can. You just think you can’t but you can. Doesn’t matter how many times you get NO, you will get only ONE YES and it will change everything around you.
And never think you are alone and nobody cares. There are there, somewhere people who always care, just let them know you need a help.
Our tiny, tiny charity Save The Ukrainian Children has sent more than $1 million dollars of donations to Ukraine during last 7 months. If we can help, you can help. Even small hands can help.
