They collect, they pack, they donate: the willingness to help the people of Lower Franconia for the Ukraine is remarkable. In many places people want to support refugees from Ukraine. So did Sandra Holeczek and Lukas Zienkiewicz from Hösbach. They organize an aid convoy to Poland on the Ukrainian border. When asked by BR24, Holeczek said her garage was full of blankets, diapers and other supplies. Holeczek has also received monetary donations. She plans to use it to buy groceries, hygiene items and medicines.
Big wave of helpfulness in the district of Aschaffenburg
Sandra Holeczek comes from Beuthen in Poland, where she wants to take the relief supplies. According to her own statements, she made contact with politicians on site. This ensures that the transport reaches the border directly. Above all, clothing, tin cans, hygiene articles and first aid material as well as vehicles with which relief supplies are transported are needed.
