Kristofer Kalas, a chef from East Hampton, is using his knowledge of Ukraine and the contacts he has made there to assist aid efforts for victims of the war.
"Bringing aid to people who need it, whether it’s food, medical supplies, doing on the ground medical treatment to people who need it immediately in conflict zones," he said.
Kalas helped his wife, who is from Ukraine, and their 6-month old baby girl safely get to Portugal. Now he’s back in the war-torn country with a team of doctors and military personnel. While he’s neither of those, the chef from East Hampton is using his knowledge of Ukraine and the contacts he’s made to assist the aid efforts to help the war's victims.
The self-funded group already helped more than 40 people. They’re hoping for more financial support and medical supplies to continue with the humanitarian efforts. "After getting here and getting on the ground, no one wants to leave until this is over and hopefully we win," he said.
