Colombia needs us and we’re shipping supplies

Health facilities are damaged. Communities are without the medical care they depend on. And right now, a first shipment of relief supplies is staged and ready to fly.

Working hand-in-hand with our partner on the ground, ProPacífico, we've received a list of exactly what's needed (medical and urgent care supplies, equipment, and mobility devices)

Every item comes from the generosity of NY’s hospitals.

This is just the beginning of our response, more to follow.

Share and Donate to Help us help.

Never underestimate a kid with a task and a mission.

Camp Young Judaea Sprout Lake campers showed up and got straight to work. Sorting supplies and getting it done.

Mobility delivered. Independence restored.

We partnered with the The City of Yonkers Office for the Aging for a one-day event putting wheelchairs, walkers, and shower chairs directly into the hands of local elders, no cost, no red tape, with occupational therapists on-site to get every fit right.

Medicaid cuts are putting these essentials further out of reach. Afya is innovating to fill that gap, event by event. We've brought this same support to elders across the NYC boroughs, and Westchester, even as we serve communities worldwide.

Another supply distribution event is coming this fall, with more equipment, more partners, more neighbors served, as we expand to reach more of the NYC area. Stay tuned. 🧡🧡🧡
