SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Hundreds of cards and artwork from school-aged children in Utah were stowed on a plane Wednesday and are set to be hand-delivered to children fleeing Ukraine.
Utah’s first lady, Abby Cox, put out a call to action for children to offer friendship and encouragement by way of cards and art.“They need volunteers that can drive vans from the borders into the main cities, get people into hotels for a night or two, and then onto trains to their main destination in western Europe,” said Astle.
Dirk and his son weighed those bags and found out he will be carrying 100 pounds worth of cards and notes of support on this journey. Astle knows people in Krakow who are helping to shuttle refugees from the border and will join them by driving a van for the next week, helping strangers in another country.“The biggest message from my friends that are there now is that they’re just scared, and so having a friend from Utah that they’ve never met reach out will help the kids and obviously getting them to safety is a big help,” said Astle.
