A restaurateur from Salt Lake City has taken time off, so he can deliver handmade cards to Ukrainian children who have fled the war.
"I thought I could do this, [too]," Astle wrote to Fox News Digital in an email."I have frequent flyer miles. I have time in my schedule right now. I should go help." Utah restaurateur Dirk Astle took time off from his work to hand-deliver letters and essential relief goods to refugees at the Poland-Ukraine border.
Astle said he offered to transport items for Freedman during his week-long trip, and that’s when he learned thatlaunched a letter drive to share words of encouragement with Ukrainian children who have left their lives behind. Utah’s First Lady Abby Cox launched a letter drive to share words of encouragement with Ukrainian children who have left their lives behind, and residents from the Beehive State delivered with at least 100 pounds of handmade cards.One of the bags Astle checked for his flight reportedly got misplaced in Paris, but it was luckily recovered and reunited with him three days later.
With both bags finally in his custody, Astle then traveled about 167 miles east of his hotel to deliver the letters and other essential relief goods to refugees at the Poland-Ukraine border. "The group United Sikhs runs a tent immediately across the border into Poland," Astle wrote."They are the group authorized to care for children as they come across. So, there is a large section with cots and playthings and warm food. When I told their leader about the first lady’s initiative and the letters I brought [they were] ecstatic.
