Here from one of our fundraisers?
We support partner organisations delivering emergency medical and protective equipment, therapeutic animal welfare, and disease research.
Prevention is as critical as treatment. This also applies to crisis hot spots preventing a lack of medical supplies to stop blood loss, reconnaissance to avoid a conflict, or intercepting incoming ordnance.
In Ukraine, disruption of infrastructure and casualties continues in civilian and frontline areas. Many of these casualties are preventable without shortages in medical supplies and protective equipment, owing to the scale of the conflict. Together with other Australian donors we've supported United Aid and Logistics mitigate casualties in Ukraine.
These donations cover gaps in supplies of:
Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs): Personal trauma kits designed for immediate, point-of-injury care to stop severe bleeding and chest wounds
X-ray equipment: Consumables for rapid imaging of bone fractures, joint dislocations, chest trauma, and foreign objects that assist injury assessment and treatment
Drone detection and interception: Equipment to identify and disrupt incoming attacks
Our priority Ukraine aid fundraiser has resumed, funds raised will support medical equipment and drone interception measures to medical stablisation points. All proceeds past platform fees go to the cause. Donations are tax deductible in Australia and other countries depending on your local tax laws.
Equine therapy allows participants to participate in grooming, feeding, leading and riding horses. This enhances the quality of life of people with disabilities since horse horse riding can stimulate cognitive ability. Equine therapy is also used to help people rebuild their lives from substance abuse disorders, support physical, occupational and speech therapy, and mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, ADHD, autism and more.
We support the welfare of therapeutic mental health animals, in particular Riding for the Disabled, to provide food and infrastructure to support horses. Find out more about equine therapy in Australia here.
Donating to this cause will support food and maintenance bills for horses and the patients they support.
Researchers are uncovering the genetic and environmental factor basis to human cellular degeneration in disease and aging. While most of the 37 trillion cells in our bodies are constantly turning over within our organs, within each cell, 46 bundles of DNA (chromosomes), are constantly being manufactured, damaged, or repaired.
Genetic damage can occur at single positions or stretches of DNA that encode RNA, ultimately disrupting the structure or function of proteins that serve any cellular process. Damage can also occur at the epigenetic level, with chemical modifications that control what genes are expressed.
Environmental genetic and cellular damage sources can include exposure to airborne particles, pollution, plastic or wood particles, heavy metal or microbial toxins, UV exposure from sunlight, but also carcinogens in cigarettes, vaping, alcohol, as well as obesity or starvation
It isn't possible to control what genes we're born with, but we can reduce the risk and progression of disease with a healthy lifestyle of a balanced diet, exercise, avoiding exposure to alcohol, smoking, sunlight and other environmental toxicity factors.
100% of public donations are dedicated to target causes excluding Paypal platform transfer fees unless otherwise requested.
