Nick Morris, who runs Station House Cookery School, launched a fundraising appeal last week to help people in the country where he lived and worked for 20 years as an English language teacher.
And he was stunned by the response which saw thousands of pounds sent straight to a colleague working near the border between Poland and Ukraine.
