                      RECOGNIZING PROJECT C.U.R.E.

                                 ______

                      Thursday, September 29, 2022

  Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Project C.U.R.E., 
headquartered in Colorado's Sixth Congressional District, for their 
efforts in collecting and distributing life-saving emergency medical 
relief to the people of Ukraine.
  Founded 30 years ago by Jim and AnnaMarie Jackson, Project C.U.R.E. 
has grown into the world's single largest distributor of donated 
medical relief. They've provided over 2,000 cargo containers of medical 
supplies and equipment to over 135 countries, and most recently, to the 
people of Ukraine.
  Upon the invasion of Ukraine, Project C.U.R.E. identified an urgent 
need for medical supplies as civilian casualties increased at an 
exorbitant rate. Recognizing that the war was having an immediate and 
devastating impact on an already weakened healthcare system, Project 
C.U.R.E. began collecting donations and medical supplies--including 
hospital beds and ultrasound machines--from across the U.S., to send to 
the people of Ukraine.
  With a goal of delivering health and hope to Ukraine, Project 
C.U.R.E. has delivered 60 air shipments and four containers of medical 
relief to Ukraine--equating to a total of about $12.3 million worth of 
medical supplies. Additionally, they worked closely with the Ukrainian 
government to transport arid distribute 5,000 kits, containing two 
months of supplies for newborns, across the country.
  Project C.U.R.E. has an extensive history providing medical relief to 
Ukraine and was recognized earlier this year by the National Health 
Council of Ukraine for their significant contributions to the 
international humanitarian project ``Support Hospitals in Ukraine.''
  The impact of these donations are immeasurable in terms of lives 
saved and I commend Project C.U.R.E. for their tireless dedication in 
providing critical medical supplies as there continues to be a dire 
need in Ukraine. It is organizations like Project C.U.R.E. that provide 
hope in the darkest of times, and I know that our global community 
benefits immensely from their continued support and generosity.
