She speaks English very well, making it easier for others to communicate with her. Is there a specific address where Americans can send many packages to assist with rebuilding?????

Truly heartbreaking

I've been following this initiative "Repair together" (the one that's in this story), they get out to volunteer every weekend to clear out what russians have left. Truly hope russians at some point taste their own remedy...experience fully on their own skin what they did to Ukraine...Georgia, Syria, Chechnya (and these are just recent crimes).

OMG this brings tear to my eyes,..I'm old now but if I was there I would give $$ and my tired hands to help rebuild, THANK U Guardian

Gli Ucraini sono un GRANDE popolo dal quale tutti dobbiamo imparare. La loro unione, la loro forza, la loro costanza nell' affrontare le enormi difficoltà e le immani tragedie loro accadute, sono un esempio determinante per tutto il mondo libero. I loro valori costituiscono le fondamenta, l' esempio più concreto, nonché l' amalgama che unisce e lega ancor più profondamente la nostra EUROPA. SLAVA UKRAINE !!!!! Insieme a voi saremo un' Europa ancora più libera, più coesa più forte. Un' Europa democratica, basata sul rispetto e sulla pace verso ogni altro popolo. Un' Europa la cui priorità è quella di crescere insieme a tutti i suoi concittadini. GRAZIE UCRAINA.🤩🤩🤩🤩💪💪💪💪

Hope and optimism are two things that are the fuel to rebuild. These young people provide elbow grease to get the rebuilding started. I is fantastic to see how Ukrainians love their land and help those who suffered during the occupation.
