By Jacqueline Quynh, CBS Miami March 17, 2022 Over 3 million Ukrainian refugees have left their country with no idea when they will return. It's a humanitarian crisis that has motivated some of Floridians to go overseas to help. "Normally we're not in an active warzone. The hurricane comes through it's gone, we get in and work, and yes we have trees down, and we have to get through, and this is very different," Alison Thompson said. Thompson just came back this week from helping orphans from the Romanian side of the Ukraine border.
