Inside a small storefront in north Dallas, there are boxes of inventory that really don’t belong in a shop specializing in Ukrainian apparel.
But for “Ukie-Style” owner Olena Jacobs, several large cardboard boxes, and the contents inside, reflect the urgency of what is happening on the ground in Ukraine right now.
“There is a box here with bandages,” Jacobs said. “They are blood-clotting bandages, this is extremely important for people who get wounded. Jacobs, who grew up in Eastern Ukraine, says everything in the boxes was purchased at army supply shops in the area. She says each shop sold the items at a considerable discount because the boxes are headed out Monday for Ukrainian citizens defending themselves against Russian forces.
“We ship it with air, they take it by airplane to Poland and then load it into trucks and drive to Ukraine,” Jacobs said.Even before Russia began an invasion Thursday, Ukrainian-Americans in North Texas have been simultaneously trying to raise awareness and financial support in any way possible.
