(Christian Doctors & Medical Students), we were able to pack and send 120 medicine bags in the summer of 2023, with the highest quality content to frontline medics.

- It was quite difficult to find a way. It's good that we have rules, but they can be quite rigid," says Sofia.

 Soon the contact with KLM and Heart of Evangelism was established and the cooperation took off. Since its inception, 14 trucks of medicines and medical supplies have left, and they know it's the right stuff.

- We get lists of needs from local doctors and work from there. We are in close contact with Rudi Myhovych and get pictures where we see the material arriving," says Sofia.

The company sends the help at cost price and the job is done for free. Headquarters staff have been helping to pack medical supplies at the Morgongåva warehouse.

- The feeling when you stand there swings from how awful it is to the fact that we can actually save lives for real.

Funds are continuously raised through digital donations via the website and by allowing customers to round up.

- So far, we have raised SEK 16 million. With 30 000 to 50 000 customers rounding up every day, it adds up to a lot. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something," says Sofia Modig.

The most relevant at the moment are the emergency backpacks with life-saving materials for the frontline. 150 will be sent in November 2023, and more will be sent as the need is endless.

we can distribute bread to the most vulnerable areas.

6 cities - 6 bakeries. Each bakery has been provided with equipment to produce about 500 loaves per day. Today there are active bakeries in Odessa, Khmelnytsky, Ivano-frankivsk, Poltava, Konstantinovka and Bila tserkva.

thanks for all the help she received from Sweden to keep her small mobile health center running among villagers in Ukraine. She is one of those who have received medical supplies from KLM and Apotea. KLM stands for Christian doctors and medics and is the Swedish part of a worldwide organization. Infectious disease doctor Lars Ljungström has been in contact with the Ukrainian equivalent of KLM for more than ten years, so he was on his toes as soon as the war began in February 2022.

- On the same day, we received an email from doctor Rudy Myhovych in Ukraine appealing for help. A member who had been a disaster physician for many years had a surplus stock, so we were able to fill a truck immediately," says Lars Ljungström.

The question was how it would be distributed.
Within a few days, KLM got in touch with Sebastian Stakset, who had already left for Poland and decided to set up a logistics center for aid shipments (see article on page 8.)

- "We connected Sebastian with our contact in Ukraine, Rudy, and that was the beginning of our collaboration," says Lars.

The whole chain quickly got going: fundraising via social media, contact with Apotea, which could provide medicines, and cooperation with transport companies.

- "It's all unlikely, it's nothing short of a God's miracle that it's turned out this way and works so well," says Lars in amazement.

Lars Ljungström has been there himself and seen where the material has gone.

- The friends in the organization in Lviv receive, sort, pack and send on. But there is a lot of corruption in the country, so they only send to places where they have personal contacts, such as public hospitals, health centers, churches and military hospitals.
The control is thorough with lists of needs, delivery notes, the recipient's receipt and documentation.

Lars says that the war is not very noticeable in Lviv, which is close to the Polish border.

- But the air raid siren sounded when we were there, so you still understood that you were in a war zone.
The whole organization around relief efforts from different directions has grown and now three reception centers are up and running in Lviv with about 30 employees. Their salaries and other overheads are financed by donations from Sweden.

KLM will continue its efforts even when the war is over and everything is rebuilt.

- We have unique channels throughout the country and can reach the front line, for example, where few others can. Our transports are driven by people who are prepared to go even though they don't know if they will get out alive," says Lars.

- "It feels exciting and valuable, they don't just distribute medicines but also tell people why, so the gospel of faith in God also gets across. People need hope and we get to be a part of communicating that.

In December 2023, the infection clinic in Skövde will have to do without Lars Ljungström for another week, because he will visit hospitals in Ukraine and share his knowledge.

- "They have problems with infections and antibiotic resistance, and it is difficult when so many people are injured," he says.

The question was how to distribute it.

- We connected Sebastian with our contact in Ukraine, Rudy, and that was the beginning of our cooperation," says Lars.

The whole chain was quickly set in motion: fundraising via social media, contacting Apotea to provide medicines and working with transport companies.

- Everything is improbable, it's nothing short of a miracle from God that it has turned out this way and works so well," says Lars in amazement.
