Relief campaigns: Donations in kind for Ukraine, money for earthquake victims

With two major donation campaigns, trans-o-flex employees and partners participated in helping the people in Ukraine and in the Turkish-Syrian earthquake region. The aid campaign for Ukraine ended up with around 60 pallets of relief supplies that were collected at trans-o-flex in Weinheim and transported from there to a clinic in Kiev in cooperation with the Main-Kinzig-Kliniken Gelnhausen. In addition to a wide variety of pharmaceutical products, the aid shipment also included more than 1,400 jackets, including almost 1,000 winter jackets. They were distributed in three different Ukrainian regions to people who often had to leave their homes head over heels because of the war and who do not have sufficient winter clothing. Pharmaceutical products were also distributed among different hospitals. “The colleagues from Ukraine were very pleased and thanked us,” senior physician Andriy Kyselyov wrote to trans-o-flex. “They have never received so many medical supplies and other things at once. Thanks again!” Kyselyov works at the Main-Kinzig-Kliniken in Gelnhausen. The surgical senior physician has Ukrainian roots and has coordinated the Ukraine relief effort.
In helping the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria, trans-o-flex decided to call on employees and partners to donate money. “Here, it seemed best to us to support German aid organizations that have proven themselves in emergency relief,” said trans-o-flex CEO Wolfgang P. Albeck. Thus, on February 9, a trans-o-flex donation account was set up via the “Aktion Deutschland hilft” page. The organization can then use this donation directly on site for exactly what is urgently needed. In just five days, 6,794.99 euros were collected in the donation account. The company had promised to double the amount donated by employees. Now trans-o-flex has increased the sum to 30,000 euros.
