Five of each would be amazing.

Trouble is, we need them at the rehabilitation centre. Long term, it's cheaper to get a few bows, than it is to take 25 plus patients on several buses , or buy a bus. We have a great coach, but no kit

Do you by any chance have any archery connections? We run a program in Lviv, and have expanded to a rehabilitation centre in Truskavets, with 700 patients, but we need bows and targets!

That's fantastic! I wish we could take them more, but the fuel costs are the one thing we can't scrounge for free. Staff, transport etc all voluntary, but the fuel is expensive.

Thank you my friend! You should see the joy on the water after a year in hospital and who knows how long at the front.

Honestly, it brings them so much joy and is fully integrated into a 12 month program

We've expanded our veterans and rehabilitation patients' activities to support a hospital in Truskavets, where we now have 2 sessions a week led by our veterans archery coach, Ivan. Please help us cover fuel costs and retreat program in Ukraine 🇺🇦

We were worried about taking our veterans out of the rehabilitation centre and onto the open seas. Would they cope? Would we? Well, they're Ukrainian. So now they're just showing off 💛💙 www.goodhub.com/go/healing-u...

It was very important to us that Eddy led our team on the latest Ukrainian veterans amputee rehabilitation trip: as an experienced sailor, his ability to point at things is of critical nautical importance.

The world loves to focus on epic achievements, mountains climbed by amputees, titanium 'superhumans', the invictus champions...but sometimes taking a single step is a miracle & nothing compares to the moments of magic like when, after months of pain a man realises he'll hold his wife's hand again .

At Galychyna rehabilitation centre Lviv we witness the very worst kinds of pain & loss. But sometimes, when the team can save a limb and a life, the little moments of tenderness when the feeling & hope returns to what had once been written off, the care and the love makes it all worthwhile

A couple of months ago, at Galychyna rehabilitation centre Lviv, Ruslan was really struggling & having a particularly bad day. Yuliya told him we were going to take him sailing in the canary islands in the new year & swore she'd hike a mountain with him to watch a sunset. He said she was crazy 😉

Four from the day our lives changed forever, keep love in your hearts. Because if I've learned one thing in the last 4 years in Ukraine, from all those we've tried to heal, helped & failed to heal, from those we've loved & lost: love passes on to the living.( in the words of veteran Artur Dron)

Just walked home and it's so unbelievably, indescribably cold , I don't have the words. Luckily have heat in the apartment at last. And all I can think of are our defenders holding the line out East & what they must be going through, and I don't have the words. Love and respect them more than ever.

And the look on the tourists faces, as our Ukrainian warriors made their way through Tenerife airport, as more than one approached to shake their hands. And one family, from Newcastle stopped to ask why we are there - and their little girl gave the guys her sweets 🥹
