Houstonians are continuing to do their part in helping with the crisis. One local woman will be flying to Poland Friday to volunteer.
Nell Lukosavich’s bags are packed, and she’s ready for what’s likely to be an emotional journey back to Poland to help with the refugee crisis.
"I raised about $10,000. I’m flying over exactly the 250 lbs. of excess baggage limit. I'm bringing baby formula, diapers, feminine products, different items for kids, band-aids, things like that," said Nell "And part [of the] items are simple medical things like tourniquets, quick clot kits." Fluent in Polish and proficient in Ukrainian, Nell’s multilingual skills make her the perfect volunteer. But her family's history is what's motivating her decision.
Nell has taken time off from work and is leaving behind her 7-year-old kid for this volunteer mission. She's expected to stay in Poland for at least three weeks. FOX 26's Natalie Hee reports on Houston artists selling their artwork to raise money for Ukrainian refugees. Urban South Brewery in the Heights will launch a beer with blue and yellow labeling, honoring Ukraine starting Thursday.
