Despite Ukraine’s heroic resistance, Russian attacks are worsening the humanitarian situation in Ukraine with each passing day. To try and help relieve some of the suffering Military Dating Site Forces Penpals’ CEO Bruno Mustone is donating over 33,600 medical grade oxygen masks worth over $20,000 to help Ukrainians caught in the chaos of war.

Russia’s attacks aren’t just impacting military targets. Most recently, on March 9, air strikes took out a children’s hospital and a maternity ward in Mariupol. Just a few days before, on March 3, a maternity hospital was taken out in Zhytomyr. The WHO has also confirmed multiple other attacks on healthcare facilities in the country. 

Speaking about the effort, Forces Penpals CEO Bruno Mustone explains that he and his team are willing to do any little thing that can help.

“I’m sure we’ve all been watching the tragedy in Ukraine unfold on the news and feeling helpless. The Forces Pen Pals community had been discussing ways in which we could help, with many sending spare military kit, clothing, uniforms, boots etc. However it became apparent there was a desperate need for oxygen masks. Coincidentally my other business, Clear O2, had supplies of that item in stock. Immediately, I realized we’d got a big opportunity to help.” he says. 

“We then started looking for the quickest way to get the oxygen masks out there and through contacts I came across the Central Bedfordshire Ukraine Appeal. Kasha and Emily were straight on it and already had experience shipping items to Ukrainian hospitals, so I teamed up with them and within a couple of days, the items were collected and on their way to help out,” Mustone explains. 

The Central Bedfordshire Ukraine Appeal is currently working to collect all manners of goods and items that are needed by Ukrainians. The initiative may be small, but it has already amassed a good amount of support from people who are looking to help.
