The team says they were exhausted from their long journey, and although they've helped in disasters before, they say this experience was different.
Gillanders and Sil Wong-Underwood were part of an 11-day medical mission to help those who had left everything behind. "Many of these folks don't have anywhere to go," said Gillanders. "To see these fathers saying goodbye to their families, not knowing if they are going to see them again is pretty heartbreaking.""Little girls the same age as my daughter, look just like her, playing with her stuffies on nothing but a foam mat, sleeping on train station platform for three to four hours," said Gillanders.
Gillanders said 100,000–130,000 refugees are crossing the border with Poland daily, as Russia continues its attacks.
