John,

There's one patient I'll never forget. She lived in a very small village in Ukraine. The war had cut off access to medicine and transportation. She had cancer and when my mobile medical team arrived, we didn't know if she was going to survive another day.

Her condition was so bad, we couldn't even risk moving her at first. But we started treatment and stabilized her blood pressure.

After some time and vital support, she was healthy enough to move to Finland for more specialized care — now, her life has stabilized.

Her story is why I can tell you your gift to the IRC can be lifesaving. Before the year ends, I hope you'll donate to help provide emergency medical care and other critical aid in crisis zones like Ukraine and around the world.

Now is a perfect time to give — I’m told that, right now, your support will go three times as far as we prepare for the difficult winter months.

Before the war escalated here, I worked in a home for elderly and disabled veterans in Mariupol. I ended up staying there for two weeks, working around the clock — my patients really needed me and the bombing made it too dangerous to leave. Once my patients were able to evacuate, I still wanted to help.

I started driving around my city to see patients that had been displaced by the war. My own car became my clinic.

Eventually I started working with the IRC mobile medical team to see patients who couldn't otherwise be reached.

Many people, especially elderly and those too sick to evacuate, had no way to find care unless we came to them.

Anastasiia, 25, and her son Rinat, 2, at an appointment with Dr. Oleg. Her son has heart problems, and there is no doctor or medical facility where they'd get help.

I am happy to ask you to support the IRC, because we are providing a level of specialized assistance that many other organizations cannot in Ukraine. Donate now to send 3x the emergency aid to Ukraine and crisis zones around the world.

Harsh winter weather is taking hold and children and families need blankets, heaters and medical care to survive.

The first few times our mobile medical team saw new patients we had to explain they could trust us to follow up, that we would not abandon them.

It's a promise I'm proud to keep, but it's only possible with your support.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity, especially today.

Dr. Oleg
