Suburban police departments donated heavy protective gear to go to Ukrainians fighting the Russian invasion.
Jennifer Doloski is the mother of three adopted Ukrainian boys and, with Hand of Help in Adoption, her life's work has been to help American couples become parents to Ukrainian children.
"We had one member of our team put out a request to our families, could anyone get them ballistic vests? Protective gear, because they were going out as citizen combatants," she said. "In about six days we had committed over 300 vests and we've got 90 ballistic helmets that have been committed," Steve Vaccaro said.
"They're shipping anything we send them free. It's not costing us a lot to ship from the Chicago area," he explained."I know where they're going, I'm the one that gave the dropping point for them," she said."And once they get over to Poland they'll be brought over the border to members of our team."
