A Kansas nonprofit is sending medical supplies to Ukraine after hearing alarming accounts of a hospital in Kyiv low on treatments and basic tools. The Olathe-based Global Care Force raised $21,000 to bring resources overseas.
Brenda Poor, a spokeswoman for the organization, said the packages were stuffed into seven large suitcases and checked onto a plane to Warsaw, Poland, alongside the non-profit's director of operations on Tuesday afternoon.
The group has multiple plans for transporting the supplies, which include thousands of doses of antibiotics, over the border.
