Crystal Hearts

Accepted a big request from the medics: tourniquets, bandages, hemostatics, chest seals, survival blankets, burn dressing kits, evacuation litters, BVMs for manual resuscitation, splints, paramedic shears, medical backpacks - and the list goes on. I’ll be splitting it into parts and sourcing what I can so we can start delivering ⛑️

Something I haven’t mentioned before is every medical request we receive that I share here always includes hundreds of heavy-duty body bags for those who don’t make it, and we always deliver them. When you contribute, you’re also helping our medics, evacuation teams, and military carry out and transport bodies and remains.

What I always think about is that in times of war, receiving a body to bury is a blessing and a form of closure many never get, or only receive years later. Some bodies can’t be retrieved under heavy bombing, and families wait for DNA confirmation, sometimes a year or two later and those under occupation we may never get back. 🫂
