Help keep the Ukrainian refugee center safe.

Hello!
This is Soo-yeon Jeon from Peace Winds Korea.

Today I would like to share with you the news about the support of Ukrainian refugees with disabilities.

- Why do we support refugees with disabilities?
Among the thousands of refugees, especially disabled people are hard to access the medical service. So it's not easy for them to go to the hospital even if it's urgent.
To solve this problem, Peace Winds started to visit their home and provide them with the medical service they need. We provide not only medicine but also medical equipment such as blood pressure monitor, suction machine and hearing aid. We let them know how to take the medicine in the right way. Each medical service was planned with social workers and the refugee's doctor. Until now 87 Ukrainian refugees with disabilities received the service of Peace Winds.

- A woman's health improved through this project.
A 70-year-old woman, who had a stroke, improved her health so much that she can live by herself. This was surprising news to Peace Winds staff and even the doctor.

"I didn't know that my health could improve during the evacuation. I was worried about being alone because my daughter went back to Ukraine to earn money. But now I can live by myself."

Since she got healthy, she smiles a lot and becomes positive.

- The heart of the project: Doctor
The doctor helps to plan the medical service based on her experience in helping disabled people. When she starts her medical treatment, the refugees open up and tell their stories.

"We are in Moldova, but my son still lives in Ukraine. I worry about him every day, what if he's caught in an attack."

The situation of refugees is different from person to person. So they need proper medical care and case management.
Peace Winds will be with the Ukrainian refugees until the end of the war.
