Heritage Health counselor continues work helping people of Ukraine

I decided to travel to Ukraine to raise money to help the Ukrainian people who were directly impacted by the war in early March. This decision was made with a belief that my experiences as a mental health counselor, combat veteran, and former military contractor would bridge the gap between my community in North Idaho and the people in Ukraine. My objective was to raise money and show my community how their donations were making an immediate impact. Not knowing anyone in Ukraine or being able to speak the language, I traveled completely on my own. The plan was to meet a pastor in Ukraine who I found online. I begged him to allow me the chance to travel there and help.
