On a daily basis, 5,000 refugees cross the border in Siret. Most are from Kyiv, Crimea and Kharkiv.

They are very efficient here at getting people bused out to towns all over Europe. This morning as I was crossing into Ukraine I saw again a very tearful family hugging goodbye as the man turned around to fight for Ukraine.

The desperation is beyond description as these families say goodbye. Although in a Ukrainian warming shelter I saw two sisters reunited and the wailing of relief brought tears to all of our eyes.

I am working now in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, during the day but returning at night to the border, where there are 33 refugee camps with 50,000 refugees. The camp today was in an old school. It was so heartwarming to work with these brave people.

Much stress and yet always warm hearts. Every day we go to a different place. Our driver is from Kharkiv, which has been bombed badly. He is here with his wife and son.

A family took them in and there are 15 people living in three rooms. He has no job now but won’t take money for transporting us. He says he only wants to help. I hope this war is over soon. These people deserve a safe home.

They only want peace, family and their freedom. I am inspired by them every day!!!
