The House of Ukraine has been collecting everything from protection for soldiers to medical supplies and money. People visit the cottage in Balboa Park to show their support. Some buy T-shirts, and some come to donate what they can.
"One hundred dollars, OK. This is for your family. Here’s another $50 dollars," the anonymous donor told Mushchenko.
"You have a big heart," Mushchenko, near tears, said to the generous stranger. She told him she would send most of it to her mother, who is still in Ukraine."She’s staying in Kharkiv — that’s by Russia," she said as she pointed to a map. And the rest, she said, will be used to help her children in a country they don’t know but already love.
