Thalen and Fidom were told two days ago that the truck, loaded with relief supplies, was completely full. Then they were asked ‘if he can also leave’. “Well, then you get in and drive it to Poland,” says Thalen. A fundraising campaign has been set up from the Beth-el church in Hoogeveen for items for Ukraine. Through the fundraiser’s website Ukraine Emergency Aid the goods keep flowing in. “Tuesday another truck is going that way with stuff.”
