With support from our Kurdistan office, GRM provided more than 15 tons of medical equipment to various hospitals and clinics in NE Syria during 2021. We also donated a generator to Raqqa COVID Hospital so it could reopen and we completed a medical needs assessment, identifying 15 projects for potential funding and management.
We are in Gaza and Ukraine.
HELP SAVE LIVES.
Yesterday, GRM founder Pete Reed was killed in Bakhmut, Ukraine. Pete was the bedrock of GRM, serving as Board President for 4 years. In January, Pete stepped away from GRM to work with Global Outreach Doctors on their Ukraine mission and was killed while rendering aid.
This is a stark reminder of the perils rescue and aid workers face in conflict zones as they serve citizens caught in the crossfire. Pete was just 33 years old, but lived a life in service of others, first as a decorated US Marine and then in humanitarian aid. GRM will strive to honor his legacy and the selfless service he practiced.
We fully support Pete’s family, friends, and colleagues during this devastating time.
