Hot Water Bottles For Ukrainian Children

With frequent power-cuts in Ukraine and the temperature as low as minus 28 degrees Celsius, I'm sure you can imagine how terrible it must be there for parents.

A hot water bottle doesn't require pure water, even snow melted on a campfire will work. They stay warm for up to 10 hours in a child's bed, or inside their coat when they have to evacuate to a basement or bomb shelter.   

Your money will pay a manufacturer in Ukraine (and possibly Poland as a backup) who will also help with the distribution through a range of existing local charities and initiatives. 

My wife and I have kicked off the fund with £1,200 and I am going to use my extensive LinkedIn network to seek donations. 

Your donation of just £20 will provide seven children hot water bottles that will help them sleep and fight off illnesses (because sleep boosts the immune system). If you are able to give more, thank you, and you can do the maths to see how many children and babies you can help. 

I wish I had started this two months ago, but I hope the maxim "Better late than never" is true.

The great news is that you know exactly what your donation will do and how many babies or children you will be directly helping.
