"People are amazing," she said.

However, a man named Drew Goodman, who lives in Poland but was born and raised in Clear Lake miraculously connected with Rawlins and is helping get the shipments to those in need.
Goodman and his wife Alina, who is also from Ukraine, lives close to the Ukrainian border where people are waiting to come to safety. They are collecting all the goods from those across the world, including from Viktoriya. "What we do is go to each of those points and just ask them ‘what do you guys need? What do you need in general?' We just create the list and put it on Amazon," said Mr. Goodman. "They just asked people to bring everything you can that look like military," Mrs. Goodman said. "Boots that are thick, good. Those are just normal people that came and said I am ready to defend.
