Application for evacuation: Mykola Buganov, born in 1937, Yevhenia Buganova, born in 1938, Kherson.
Old people in need of help will not be in despair if PAL-UA is nearby.
The last month of autumn reigned on the streets of Kherson. Saturday, November 29, is not a day off in Ukraine, there is no time to rest when you work in an evacuation team in a city where active hostilities are taking place.
Saturday's evacuation mission was not special. An elderly couple was waiting for help. It was the second time they had survived the war in their lives.
At the beginning of 1941, Nazi Germany began atrocities on the territory of the former USSR, and at that time Mykola Yefymovych and Yevheniia Oleksandrivna were five and four years old. The war took away their childhood.
February 2022 brought the horror of war back into the lives of old people. Mykola Yefymovych, at 85, is able to get up and move around, while his wife, Yevheniia Oleksandrivna, who is 84, is bedridden. The city where the elderly live suffers daily from shelling by Russians. The war is taking away their old age.
The evacuation vehicle was moving on the streets of the city as usual. Without being distracted by other problems, the ambulance driver was enjoying the autumn sun, and in three days winter will begin. The car stopped at the entrance. The doors opened, the workers pulled the evacuation stretcher out of the car and went to the house where the elderly were waiting.
The narrow hallway of the apartment does not allow you to move freely while holding a patient stretcher. The room is filled with emotions of hope for rescue, hope that caring people will help helpless and sick old people to continue their lives in a safer place.
The evacuation of Mykola Yefimovych and Yevheniia Oleksandrivna went according to the regular schedule. The professional actions of the PAL-UA team helped to restore hope to Ukrainians who were experiencing the horror of war for the second time. Childhood during the Second World War and old age against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of 2022 will remain in our memory forever. We thank God that in such difficult times, conscious citizens of our unbreakable Ukraine are not indifferent and help helpless and sick people. Everyone contributes to the cause that leads to victory over the Russian invaders.
Help can look different. Someone works as a dispatcher and corrects evacuation requests, someone organizes the departure of patients even under the fire of the racists. And help can also come in the form of a donation to support evacuation measures. PAL-UA is a non-governmental non-profit organization that works continuously, using all available resources. The evacuation vehicle has already saved more than one hundred people who needed help. Your donation for the purchase of a new vehicle will give hope and save lives of those who need help.
