An Airdrie woman’s heartfelt plea for baby boxes to send to assist refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine has received an “overwhelming” response with hundreds of donations flooding in from across Scotland in just three days.
Jackie Crawford originally intended to collect items to hand to charity – but with the project’s Facebook group rapidly growing to more than 4000 members, there are now up to 400 boxes being collected to go to organisations working in Poland and Moldova.
With donations pouring in throughout Lanarkshire and from across Scotland, the grassroots group is now looking for help from drivers who can transport some of the many boxes to their donated storage space in Glasgow ahead of the charities’ planned lorry pick-up this weekend.
