Featured Photo: This is the view looking out the back of the Ivano-Frankivsk Church Building! The buildings are in the village of Ugornyky. The Church Building is in the midst of a sunflower field! The sunflower heads follow the sun during the day. When the sun’s rays are positioned just right, you see a field of yellow with a sky of blue overhead. This is why the flag of Ukraine is Blue over Yellow!
Amazing Totals
Within a week, our locations have loaded two containers carrying desperately needed medical supplies into Ukraine. Below are the results of these loads:
Loaded out of Ft. Smith, AR, C.U.R.E., 8/15/2026. USD VALUE—$474,575.00! PIECES LOADED—850! WEIGHT—21,287 lbs!
Loaded out of Montgomery, AL, 8/19/2026. Weight: 15,180 lbs. Total Pieces Loaded: 1,063. Total USA Value: $325,484.00. See the photos of this load and the loading crew below.
The total value is $800,059.00; the total piece count is 1,913; the total weight shipped is 36,467 pounds!
Incoming Deliveries
Following the container loading in Montgomery, our warehouse has some space available. This available space already has a delivery queue!! A truck from Houston, TX is bringing 26 pallets of wound dressings. These are urgently needed as the war wounded continue to overcrowd the hospitals.
With each missile and drone attack, the civilian population faces medical crises. Russia has deliberately targeted schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings, attempting to “break the will” of Ukrainian resistance. The resolve is only stronger, but the casualties continue to increase (the next post will sadly illustrate this fact). Thus, these wound dressings are urgently needed.
C.U.R.E. will bring two trucks to the Montgomery warehouse next week. These will contain the leftovers they could not cram into their container last Saturday.
Please partner with us to help pay shipping costs! We have three containers of medical/hospital supplies ready to load and go–we only need the shipping costs!
