They need toiletries and baby products.

A Dublin estate agent has started an appeal to collect supplies for the people of Ukraine.

People have been sending in vital supplies including clothing, medical supplies, and canned food.

However, Keane Thompson is now calling on the public to urgently donate supplies like baby products and toiletries.

They’re asking the public in Dublin to kindly donate things like nappies, period products, toothpaste, toothbrushes.

They’re also looking for nappies, blankets, baby powder, milk powder, baby wipes, and baby food too.

The estate agent praised the public’s generosity.

They told DublinLive that they’ve been blown away by people’s kindness.

They shared, “The response we have had has been brilliant.”

“We’ll probably do another one for them in a few weeks.”

“One lady came in after knitting 60 little bunnies for the kids in Ukraine, it was so lovely. Irish people are amazing, everyone is just wanting to help the people in Ukraine.

The collection will end today, March 16th, but people can donate items to Keane Tompson in Sandyford until this afternoon.

They have thanked the public for making a difference and for supporting the people of Ukraine during such an unthinkable time.

Donations like this are making a vital difference, but the public has also been asked to donate money too.

The Irish Red Cross has advised the public to spare whatever money they can.

“Displacement, trauma, and separation from loved ones, will have devastating consequences on the people of Ukraine. Please help today if you can.”

Donations will be used to give those affected everything they need including food, medicine, shelter and water.
