OPT-Only Passing Thru may be a small volunteer-run charity, but its impact is rooted in strong partnerships and #loveinaction. Every dollar donated goes directly to programs that bring hope and practical help to those who need it most.
Here’s what we’ve achieved this past year:
🇺🇦 Ukraine
– Partnered with Християнська медична асоціація / Christian Medical Association of Ukraine, delivering medical supplies, equipment, and medicines directly to hospitals, NGOs, and frontline volunteers.
– Ran mobile medical clinics; partners provided first aid training for civilians and military, and supported burns treatment and patient rehabilitation projects.
– Delivered Advanced Life Support training and lectured in medical universities to equip Ukrainian doctors for wartime healthcare challenges.
– Supported Fortress of Good and Banner of Love volunteers delivering food, water, and aid to frontline villages.
