A South Bay emergency room technician has returned to the Bay Area after a month of volunteering in Ukraine.
When Russia invaded Ukraine, he started applying for volunteer positions – to go.
“Immediately, I was assigned to 40 different Ukrainian families. About 165 people. Most of them children, to check on their daily medical needs,” he said. He said some of the families were scared – and didn’t trust anyone because of the Russian propaganda shared to make them fearful of aid workers. Boyer said that he also helped coordinate and deliver supplies to border checkpoints welcoming refugees, where it was evident the world is watching and wanting to help. “
