Dr. Scott Kirby of Anchorage just returned from two weeks in Romania and Ukraine helping refugees and documenting the experience along the way.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Anchorage man, Dr. Scott Kirby, left the comfort of home and put himself into a war zone to help refugees in Ukraine. During his relief efforts Kirby spent two weeks in Romania and Ukraine helping refugees and documenting his experience along the way.
“I can’t fix that, I can’t do anything about the war, but I can do something to help the homeless and the hungry refugees in this short-term period,” he said. “I wanted to hear their stories,” Kirby said. “I wanted to hear what is it really like right now ... to have to leave your country, running for your life, leaving your husband behind, ... not knowing if your home will ever be there, not knowing if you’ll ever be able to go back home.”
“She asks me, why did we leave home? I want to come back with family and friends in the garden — kid’s garden. I try to explain what happened,” Anya told Kirby in an interview he filed. “But it’s very difficult. It’s very difficult for me, but for kids I can’t explain.”
