“We're going to fly into Poland. Our first evening, we're going to be staying with some local friends. Then we expect to be in Ukraine on the 17th, meeting with some of our local contacts,” said Daniel Taylor, Sunflower Railroad Team leader. “Our main goal is to get a bunch of medical equipment to people on the front lines.”“There's been a Facebook group — that's the Ukrainians of Colorado — and they have been amazing,” Taylor said.
“It's still so hard — so hard talking about this, so hard to watch on the news,” Shatalov said. “We were just searching for some people, looking for some people, who were flying right away to Poland, to Ukraine to help refugees, to help our people. So we are so grateful.” Yana Clopton, Mountain View Fire and Rescue employee, said a few weeks ago she asked her fire chief if the department could organize a donation drive. The chief approved the idea and spread the word to other departments, which also donated money and resources.
“It's very heartwarming to see that people are still responding to any kind of tragedy," Clopton said. “People are willing to pray for Ukraine, for me, for my family, for all my friends, and for everybody who is involved in this project and help. And people are willing actually to do something.”
