She writes on Facebook about their work:
One more shipment of life saving meds made it to the occupied town of Tokmak. Thank you to our sponsors, to my Odessa collaborator who found and packed the meds, to the unknown volunteer who risked taking it though the checkpoints and mine fields, to Natalya who took her community's needs so close to heart. Unfortunately, medications have the tendency to run out so most likely we will be looking for another sponsor in a few weeks. Those of you who want to sponsor this tiny yet very rewarding project, feel free to write me and offer whatever you feel donating. Every little bit allows to #save_one_more_life
