City of Carmel, IU Health partner
on mission to send medical supplies
to Ukraine and Latvia
CARMEL, IN – The City of Carmel and IU Health partnered to send 20 pallets of emergency medical supplies to hospitals in Ukraine and in Jelgava, Latvia, one of Carmel’s new international Sister Cities. IU Health provided the supplies and Carmel Professional Firefighters Local 4444 along with the CFD Auxiliary made a generous donation to cover the $4,000 cost to ship the supplies.
The donation was coordinated by Mayor Jim Brainard, Fire Chief David Haboush and Andris Berzins, the Honorary Consul for the Republic of Latvia to the State of Indiana and the Chairperson of the Carmel and Jelgava Sister Cities partnership.
“During this time of great international strife and suffering, particularly among Ukrainians who are under attack by Russia, we are thankful for this opportunity to play a small part in helping those in need,” said Mayor Brainard.
Added Berzins: “These donated supplies will be welcomed by those men and women on the front lines of medical treatment of refugees and victims of the war,” said Berzins. “I truly wish to thank Mayor Brainard and the City for their assistance in this effort. Carmel is amazing, thank you!”
