Andy Kenny from Misneach Ukraine has an update for us after asking our listeners to donate their old crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, boots from fractures, first aid kits, adult incontinence products, hoists and commercial gym equipment. They're still collecting this equipment to bring to Ukraine and help the injured in their rehabilitation but they're also looking for shoeboxes for the children. You can fill these with colouring books, crayons, markers, sweets, new hats, new gloves, new scarves and thermals.
Misneach Ukraine are also looking for dog crates, clean pet bedding, worming tablets etc to help animals that were left behind.
They're also in need of drivers in Ireland to collect this equipment - you can volunteer to do this as a one-off or whenever you have time. Van drivers especially needed for larger items to be collected across the country.
