Tim, that is an amazing offer, and yes I will take you up on it. One of the organizations I work with is Rubikus, https://helpua.rubikus.de/en. They facilitate transport of Ukrainians out of their own country (i.e., research, make arrangements, and pay for) to long term shelter locations throughout Europe. Everything they arrange is paid for by donations. First we have to get them from Przemysl into either Germany where they have affordable access to the German train system, or to a Polish airport some distance away from the Polish-Ukrainian border. I've personally made anywhere from 300-1,000 mile round trips doing these transports. I cannot overstate the profound gratification of those I transported; it doesn't matter how little English they speak. How do you suppose I felt when one party said, you made this trip so comfortable for us that we felt like we were on a driving trip with our family. How can we not do this for them, they ran away from daily bombings for months before even getting to the point we could take them further away to some point of stability for themselves.

Thank you again, that is so above and beyond, especially because we've never met in person!

Thanks Neil. We’ll act on that. My wife of 49.5 years and I often talk about the fathomable-for us-daily life for the Ukrainian people. We cannot have enough administration and compassion for them. Glad to contribute help when we can.
