This past Friday morning, 100 backpacks were loaded into vans and transported along with much needed emergency medical supplies and water filtration kits to Lviv, Ukraine. For the second time in less than 10 days, the backpacks you built, bought, and made available… are now in the hands of Ukrainian children seeking refuge from the war in Lviv. It is our sincere hope that everyone who has supported this mission, takes a moment to let that soak in. We have now established a logistical link enabling us to deliver our backpacks inside a war zone.
