“We started from 27 packages and then next day we’re so blessed people helping us and now we already shipped more than 6,000 packages,” a volunteer said.
With no formal training, they’ve been at the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center in Jenkintown working to fill up trucks with items that will eventually land in Poland.“People coming to volunteer they’re asking us how can we help? And we’re like ‘just walk in, look at what you see and start working,'” Zoryana Marynowitz said.
While it may look like mayhem, Zoryana Marynowitz and Diana Kornuta say there’s a method to the madness. “Green everything going to military, blue it’s the food, snacks, all of that supplies. Everything is color-coded,” a volunteer said.3-Year-Old Girl Hit, Killed By Car Driven By Her Grandmother In Northeast Philadelphia, Police Say“We helped a bunch of people bring in the diapers and food and really everything,” Christian Barboza said.“We felt very sad that the Russians just bombed them for no reason,” Andrew Barboza said.
