Watters runs the nonprofit originally formed to help refugees during World War II. She says many families are now trapped as the fighting continues.

That’s why the donations are important,” Watters said.

She’s one of many who dropped off supplies.Yet despite so much tragedy, there is also hope ringing in from countless people wanting to help.“It’s not just the Ukrainian community that is responding to helping in Ukraine, it is the American community. It’s every denomination, just unbelievable,” Watters said.
