Wheelchairs Needed In
Ukraine NOW!
In the recent “Knightline” article (October 18), Oleg Vorobyev, a brother Knight from Ukraine was highlighted. This brother knight was killed in battle on May 30, 2022. As part of the Manitoba degree team, we visited an army hospital in Ukraine to identify their need for wheelchairs. It was so sad to see so many young men who were seriously injured and in pain.
During our degree work in Ukraine, many of those initiated were young men. They were so happy to become members of the Knights of Columbus. What was truly amazing was their overwhelming love for their country - truly patriotic.
As this war drags on, the need for wheelchairs increases. I appeal to each council and to each member to consider a donation to the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation for wheelchairs to Ukraine. Remember each and every donation will help someone in need.
- Larry Kustra - PSD and Former Supreme Director
