San Antonio is 6,222 miles away from Ukraine, but distance isn’t keeping one company in the Alamo City from saving Ukrainian lives.

“They have helmets. They have body armor, but their faces aren’t protected. Their limbs aren’t that protected,” said Kevin Barfield, president and chief operating officer ofThe company typically supplies tissue to hospitals, surgeons, and dental offices.

Ukrainians requested two types of tissue. One is so small you can barely see it. It’s a thin one-inch square used for eye injuries. The others are skin grafts that are a couple of inches long for small wounds. “We gathered up the tissue that they needed, package it, send it over to Germany, where they had trucks going in to aid Ukraine,” Barfield said.
