(TeaParty.org Exclusive) – With no end in sight for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Americans are clamoring for ways to help (despite the fact that we, too, are struggling right here in the US).
Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Trump, has just purchased one million meals to deliver to the Ukrainian refugees on the Poland-Ukraine border, according to Fox News.
Ivanka, Trump’s eldest daughter, used hundreds of thousands in her own personal money to purchase the one million meals, which totaled 158,400 pounds of food, a source told Fox.
Fox News reported:
Trump worked to connect several nonprofit organizations, including CityServe, City of Destiny and Mercy Chefs to help package shelf-stable meals of oatmeal and goulash. The choices of meals came from advised food preferences of aid workers in Ukraine.
Trump had been coordinating with the UPS Foundation, and her partners – City Serve, City of Destiny, the Pentecostal European Fellowship and several local church organizations – to deliver the food to Warsaw, Poland.
From there, local partners, including hundreds of volunteers from the local community and faith-based organizations, are set to deliver the meals to Ukrainians seeking refuge in Poland, as well as to families still inside Ukraine.
“The Ukrainian people have shown inspiring courage and resilience during the invasion of their country by Russia,” Ivanka told Fox News. “As is often the case, pain and hardship are disproportionately borne by the most vulnerable.”
“With this food, I hope to provide a small source of comfort and nourishment for Ukrainians who are suffering so greatly,” she said.

A source close to Ivanka told Fox that she feels a “very personal connection” to the Ukraine situation as her mother, Ivana Trump, grew up in Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia.
The source said that Ivanka’s 96-year-old grandmother, Marie Zenicova, lives with Ivanka in Florida and still teaches her children to “treasure our freedom.”
While Americans are trying to help the Ukrainian people, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggressions continue.
“People here in the U.S. are hungry to do something to help. People there are hungry for help,” senior Pastor of the City of Destiny Church in Orlando, Florida, and president of Paula White Ministries, Pastor Paula White-Cain told Fox News. “While we were deciding how to connect the two, I got a call from Ivanka Trump. She and I worked closely in the White House to put together a national hunger relief program called Farmers to Families. When I told Ivanka what we were doing, she went into action as only Ivanka can.”
White-Cain added, “Quite honestly, if it weren’t for her immediate involvement, a plane would not already be on its way to Poland right now to deliver 1 million meals for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the devastation of their nation.”
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24, more than 3 million Ukrainians have fled their home and their country. The United Nations estimated that Poland has taken in more than 1.2 million refugees with hundreds of thousands more fleeing to Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and other neighboring countries.

Why is Jen Psaki saying that refugees must apply through the formal refugee process?

As usual, leave it to the Trump’s to do something positive.
