“Americans donating money,
goods to aid Ukraine”
Across America, people are
stepping up to help those in Ukraine by donating supplies, money and time. Some
business owners are focusing on relief efforts for Ukrainian citizens while
others are working to get soldiers supplies to aid in their survival. In
Denver, one coffee shop is taking a stand. Dazbog Coffee’s co-owner, Leo Yuffa,
was 9 years old when he left Russia in the 1970s. The images on TV bring back a
time when his family fled an oppressive regime. “It is heartbreaking to see
what Russia is doing to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” he said. “Kids.
Grandparents. It’s just heart-wrenching to see it. And we want to do something
for those people,” Yuffa said. The Yuffas named their company Dazbog after a
Russian word used to express good fortune. Dazbog Coffee’s owners are now
hoping to share some of theirs with the people of Ukraine who need it most. Next
week, profits from some of Dazbog’s coffee sales will go to the Red Cross,
helping people devastated by the fighting. Meanwhile, on the northwest side of
Chicago, international delivery company Meest has a transport leaving for
Ukraine on Wednesday. The items include combat gear such as helmets and body
armor, as well as strong painkillers, tourniquets, walkie-talkies and night
vision goggles. The supplies are being trucked to New Jersey and sent by plane
into Poland. Items will then be taken over the border into Ukraine.

America's support (both Officially and by the Ordinary Citizen) to Ukraine. ^
