Ukrainian refugees need help. Ryan White, of Eagle River, is heading to a Polish border town with bags of medical supplies.
March 15, 2022
He is a military police officer in the Alaska Army National Guard. It’s a part-time job, but it seems to have influenced his bearing. He stands up straight and squares his shoulders for an interview. White has a plan, of sorts. He’s been networking online. He’s found a bus that will take him from Warsaw to Rzeszow. From there, he’s heard Poles are shuttling volunteers closer to the border, where Ukrainians are streaming in. White knows of an Israeli medical tent, where he hopes to offer his services. And he has money to buy more supplies once he sees what’s needed.Where Ryan White is stoic, his dad, Doug White, is a heart-on-sleeve guy.
“It’s just hard to get it all out to him, so I never know exactly what the motivators are,” Doug said.
