SMA Europe will focus its efforts on supporting initiatives that seek to fill patient-relevant gaps in need. But to do so effectively and efficiently, we rely on donations. The donated funds will be used in the following areas, both in the short and long term:

• Supporting local organisations that are currently helping refugees, such as Fundacja SMA, the Polish patients' organisation.
• Supporting organisations that help transport vulnerable people from dangerous areas.
• Supporting people with SMA or similar needs in Ukraine, e.g., by providing (medical) care packages, generators, (back-up) ventilators and materials, tube feeding, etc.
• As soon as the situation has stabilised, support for Ukrainian patient organisations to rebuild their supply infrastructure and care for their patients.
• Help organise humanitarian medical transport out of the country for people who cannot use other means of transport.
• Helping to fund wheelchair-accessible emergency shelters and medical care for refugees.

In order for us to do this, we need your financial support. Please donate and help us help the Ukrainian SMA community. Every donation counts!

Please add "Ukraine" as a reference to your donation.

 

^{Note: Any unused funds will be used for patients and patient organisations that need future financial support due to crisis situations.}
