'I expected to be scared more,' shares Shumishyn. 'But it's amazing how casual war becomes…the atmosphere of war, the panic, the chaos, people get used to it really quick.'
ESCONDIDO, Calif. -"It makes me feel good if I think about it," shares Oleksandr Shumishyn."But it's all overshadowed by the negativity the negativity of what's actually going on."Shumishyn says that in late February when he saw Russian forces close into the city where his nine-year-old daughter still lives, there was no question he would go.
"I expected to be scared more," shares Shumishyn."But it's amazing how casual war becomes…the atmosphere of war, the panic, the chaos, people get used to it really quick." So he got two vans and got to work,"It's nine people at a time and it takes 2 and a half hours to take them there, and 2 and a half to take them back," he explains."So if per day we could get two runs, that would be a good day."
Shumishyn explains that the biggest challenge was finding a network of people there to help assist in getting medicine that he did not have the qualifications for. While it has not been difficult to attend to his business and family, he is still thinking about all he saw.
