85-year-old Co Down woman walking 5K a day to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees

An 85-year-old woman from Co Down who was heartbroken to see the impact of the "terrible war" in Ukraine is walking five kilometres a day to raise funds to support refugees.

Naomi Bustard started her fundraising efforts 10 days ago and has since raised £1,700 for the Habitat for Humanity's Ukrainian refugee appeal which is supporting those fleeing the war torn country.

Speaking to Belfast Live, she said that she had seen the images on television of families fleeing the conflict and wanted to do whatever she can in order to provide shelter and support for them.
