The charitable foundation "Help for Ukraine" plans to open a psychological and physiotherapeutic rehabilitation center for military personnel called "Step By Step" at the Morshynsky sanatorium in the Lviv region in early 2024, as announced by the foundation's president, Stepan Aslanyan.
During a press conference at "Interfax-Ukraine" on Wednesday, he specified that the project would be implemented in the rented premises of the central building of the sanatorium.
It was noted that the center for the psychological and physiotherapeutic rehabilitation of military personnel would be equipped with comfortable rooms with functional medical beds and equipped with ultrasound diagnostics and laboratory research equipment.
"We are currently negotiating with specialized certified laboratories for the treatment of the consequences of blast injuries in collaboration with professional psychologists," he said.
In turn, the organization's vice president, Vilen Fatalov, mentioned that over the past year and a half, the foundation has already implemented several projects, including one that provided equipment to "Mykolaivoblenergo," which suffered from Russian aggression against energy infrastructure facilities in 2022. As part of this project, with the support of German partners, the foundation delivered 169.7 tons of much-needed equipment, including transformers and generators, to "Mykolaivoblenergo."
In addition, the foundation delivered humanitarian and medical cargoes to Mykolaiv and the de-occupied territory of the Kherson region.
As part of the project, a mobile water purification unit was delivered and launched for the frontline settlement of Kozatske in the Kherson region.
Currently, the project continues to implement the "Save Kherson Water" project, which involves the purchase and installation of mobile water purification systems in populated areas of the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions.
The foundation is also implementing the "Beds for ATO and Orphanages" project, providing 140 beds to Anti-Terrorist Operation veterans and orphanages.
"Unfortunately, the need for humanitarian assistance is not decreasing; it is only growing, and we need to intensify our efforts to support the military and the population," said Aslanyan.
The foundation's ambassador, Yevhen Koshovyi, emphasized that the organization continues to work to provide the front line with passenger cars. "Unfortunately, cars on the front have become expendable, so we will concentrate our efforts in this direction," he said.
In turn, Fatalov noted that, in implementing their projects, the foundation does not appeal for help from the public but involves businesses and international partners.
"We did not open fundraisers among our citizens; we focused on Ukrainian businesses and foreign partners. We need to continue consolidating our efforts and remain united, as we were in February 2022. The needs are not decreasing," he said.
