'I'm helpless, but I'm helping them with art and my heart.' Opera singer Svetlana Nikitenko is doing what she loves in support of her friends and family still in Ukraine. She spent most of her career on Bay Area stages, but she never would have imagined she'd be taking the stage at a fundraiser for her homeland fighting to survive.
San Francisco chef Anna Voloshyna is cooking up some of Ukraine's best traditional dishes to help support displaced Ukrainians.
"We're hoping to raise a lot, a lot of money to take care of this," said Caria Tomczykowska, President Polish Arts and Culture Foundation."It all came together only nine days ago, so it's pretty miraculous that it's taken on a life of its own." Volunteers like Oxana Olacha stepped up to make it happen. She has cousins and friends fighting on the frontlines.
"I look at the Ukrainian people and I look at their strength and their defiance, said Olacha."If they can have hope, if they can fight, so can I do whatever I can to support," Nikitenko is also asking for people to do what they can to support her homeland."Whatever we can help here in the U.S., we need to help," she said.
