616ds agoA Long
Island chef has traveled to Ukraine to provide humanitarian aide for those in
need.
Kristofer Kalas is a private chef who owns Hello Oma
a coffee shop and eatery in East Hampton.
Earlier this month, Kalas left Long Island to volunteer to help Ukrainians
escape the Russian invasion.
So far, Kalas has helped transport more than 200 Ukrainians and
their belongings to safer areas of the country. He also trains the Ukrainians
in basic first aid.
Kalas told News 12 he helped his wife Galla, who was
born in Ukraine, and their 7-month-old daughter Mikayla get back to the U.S.
He says he'll remain in central Ukraine and fight to ensure that there is a Ukraine for his wife and daughter to return to one day. He says he plans to stay to help rebuild the country after the fighting stops.
