By Brooke Shafer, CBS Miami February 24, 2022 Essential supplies are leaving South Florida headed for Poland, just two hours outside of Ukraine. Employees at the Global Empowerment Mission in Doral plan to send 20,000 kits with things like food and hygiene supplies to a town just outside Ukraine. The supplies will help what's expected to be an influx of refugees following Russia's invasion early Thursday. "If just 10 percent of people fleeing would cause four million people exiting immediately like that," said Michael Capponi, President of G.E.M.
