A builder from Widnes drove across Europe for two days to deliver a van load of medical supplies to Ukrainians fleeing war.
Jon Anderson, 49, found himself spending days at the border supporting the aid effort before picking up a refugee and her son to bring back to safety in the UK. Jon had been shocked by scenes of devastation in the news and decided to do something to help, prompting his wife to ask if he was serious.
Before long he’d packed a van with bandages, cannulas, dressings, antiseptics, needles, and other medical kit as well as food, baby food and nappies and set off for the Polish border with Ukraine. He said family and friends were "incredible" and backed the effort by donating items and more than £2,600 towards costs.
