With no political agenda, just a desire to help, a San Diego biotech company executive signed up for duty at the World Central Kitchens in Poland to feed Ukrainian refugees.
The conditions there are harsh, accord to Ross -- cold temperatures and rain mostly. The camp is set up in a converted shopping center.“I think that is probably the biggest surprise and shock was hearing how difficult their lives were over the last month before they got out, “ Ross said.
He spent four days working in the children’s camp trying to invent games to keep the little kids occupied and help the teenagers feel more comfortable about where they are going.NBC 7 asked Ross if leaving his home and family for two weeks to volunteer was worth it. Ross is no longer at the border. He is at the Jewish Community Center in Krakow. The cash donations he collected on his GoFundMe page have been paying for much-needed supplies there.
“We are keeping count of everything that we have here and whatever is needed we are able to buy for ourselves instead of what is available in stores," JCC refugee effort organizer Ryan Kaplin said.
