Our own Amigos Rotarian just couldn't sit on the sidelines with concern for what is happening to the people in Ukraine. Rotarian Angela Rester was able to connect him to a Rotarian in Poland and the rest is history that is yet to come....starting now with your support and Rob Grede's blog that will keep us posted. Please consider supporting this effort. GoFundMe - Here is the GoFundMe page: bit.ly/HelptheRefugees.
By the way...this story has also been seen on Fox 6 and WISN 12 carried stories last night and the online news group, Patch, had this to report: https://patch.com/wisconsin/milwaukee/milwaukee-men-plan-trip-poland-deliver-supplies-ukraine

They leave May 12
Arrive Vienna 13 May
From Rob -
Over 10,000 Ukrainian refugees enter Poland every day to escape the horrors of the Russian invasion. Many of us donate to the cause without really knowing where that money will go.
I’m doing something different.
Along with two friends, I’m going to Poland, but we need your help to purchase supplies for Ukrainian refugees. Our GoFundMe page: bit.ly/HelptheRefugees
Who are We?
We’re just three old guys looking to make a difference in the world. Greg Ryan and Rob Grede live in the Milwaukee area. Dale Wilson, also a Rotarian, lives in Santa Barbara.
The Plan
We meet in Vienna, Austria, rent a van, fill it with emergency items that the Ukrainian refugees can use right now. Then we drive to PrzemyĆl, Poland, on the Ukraine border, where we meet our Polish Rotary contact, Zbigniew Dziedzic, District Governor, in neighboring Jaroslaw.
Our Promise
We pay all our own expenses – air travel, vehicle rental, gas, food and lodging. 100% of your donation will be used for dry food, clothing and medical supplies to support Ukrainian refugees.
The Request
We leave May 12 for Poland. Here is the GoFundMe page once more: bit.ly/HelptheRefugees
