Irish student Racheal Diyaolu to share funds raised to get her home with rescuers

Irish student Racheal Diyaolu plans to split funds raised to get her home between her Ukraine rescue heroes and Irish aid charities.

The 19-year-old revealed the gesture on social media saying she wanted to “personally thank” the public for their support.

Racheal said she would donate half the €4,614 raised on GoFundMe to Scottish volunteers Joe McCarthy, 55, and 45-year-old Gary Taylor who got her safely to the EU border. The other half will go to the Irish Red Cross and Unicef Ireland.
