It's now easier to send UACO - Humanitarian Aid a message.

Update: Pictures added of walkers and pool noodles being used for therapies.

Friends of UACO- we wanted to post an update for all of those who helped make the collection for rehabilitation supplies a success.

We have received word, directly from Lady Cox Rehabilitation Centre in Artsakh. This centre was the main recipient of the medical equipment and supplies that were sent in February.

A quote from the director of the centre makes all of our efforts worthwhile.

"There are no words to explain how I'm happy with your support. ...
thank you, SHNORHAKALUTJUN to everyone who made his best for all the goods. I was taking the goods with tears in my eyes. Thank you and just one phrase- together we are stronger.
I will send you photos of the use of all the goods.
I hope you and your supporters one day will have chance to visit our rehabilitation centre, and spend time with my patients and staff. They need that, especially these days, they must feel that we are not isolated from the world.
God bless you all, guys you did great work to help people who are in need.
With best wishes and sirov, Vardan"

We will post pictures of the distribution of the supplies as we receive them.

We are happy to report and update on the continued distribution of supplies and aid from the first collection in the fall. See link below for details!

We would like to update our followers of the distribution of supplies and collected goods. The AMAA has been hard at work receiving and processing supplies that were sent in the winter. This container was orgazined by Khoren Mardoyan and was made possible with the tireless efforts of the Armenian community in Toronto, Cambridge and Mississauga.

These pictures show the supplies being distributed to the people of Goris and neighbouring (Khnatsakh, Khozavar and Vaghatour) and Sissian villages.

Additional pictures show more distribution happening in Artsakh.

Once again we’d like to thank everyone who hd a part in filling this container! It is officially on its way, left the community centre on Friday!

The distribution of items from the very first container that was filled by generous donors and volunteers from the communities in Toronto, Cambridge and Mississauga has begun.

Even though the process is complicated and the timelines are long, the AMAA Armenia ԱՀԱԸ Հայաստան team has spent weeks getting the items through customs and organized. The donations of clothes, sleeping bags, dental care and countless other items are being delivered to those who need them. We will continue to share pictures as we receive them!

The UACO humanitarian committee has completed the work to fill the latest container. With the help of many community and ARS youth volunteers, the items have been sorted, inventoried and packed and the container is ready to go on its long journey to our homeland.

We thank each and everyone who donated, purchased items and spread the word to fulfill our mission of supporting those who are recovering and rehabilitating in Artsakh.

We will continue to post updates as the container arrives and distribution begins. May God bless those who will receive these much needed items!

Great work everyone!

As we continue to pack the collected supplies, we were blessed by the visit and the prayers given by the clergy representing our local Toronto churches.

We pray that the supplies reach those who need it most, provide for the needs of the injured and displaced and offer hope to our brothers and sisters in Artsakh.

Preparing the rehabilitation supplies to be sent very soon!

As we wrap up our collection for rehabilitation supplies, we’d like to thank Marianna Trionfo-Garibyan and M&M Medical Supplies for their generous support. The funds raised through monetary donations were spent purchasing supplies needed for our wounded soldiers and civilians. M&M Medical has coordinated the bulk ordering of raised toilet seats, gait trainers, patient lifts at significant discounts. We thank Marianna for partnering with UACO to help us fill the container.

Our registry will close on February 6th and you can still purchase items from M&M, Walmart and Amazon for delivery directly to ACC. The container will be on its way mid-February. Thank you all for you support.

We are working closely with a number of drs and nurses on the ground working at rehabilitation centres to collect what is needed. One of the centres is The Lady Cox Rehabilitation Center which will receive much of the supplies that have been collected.

Updates: the first container that was sent at the end of November has cleared all customs, the goods have been delivered to AMAA warehouses and will be distributed to needy families starting Monday. Pictures will be posted as we receive them.

The second container arrived in Yerevan yesterday and will be cleared for customs very soon.

Thank you all!

The collection for humanitarian aid and rehabilitation supplies continues. We’d like to thank Rahul Singh from Global Medic for his generous donation of over 500 family medical kits.

This is his 2nd donation and we’re happy to announce that the previous container, which contained 600 medical kits, has arrived at port and is awaiting customs clearance!

Even though the delivery of these containers is a long process, the needs of our Armenian brothers and sisters do not diminish. We must continue to do our best to provide what we can.

Our registry is open for 1 more week. Please purchase what you can and deliver directly to the ACC, Toronto. Thank you!
