Bethenny Frankel has decided to give back to the Ukrainian people by engaging in some humanitarian aid in light of the Russian attack on Ukraine.
RHONY: Bethenny Frankel Pledges $20 Million Worth Of Aid To The Ukrainian People
The former star of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ has taken it upon herself to reportedly commit to giving $20 million worth of aid.
While she has no cultural connections to either country, the very fact of the matter is that her position has put her in a place where she is able to make a difference.
And that is precisely what she is hoping to do by making sure that supplies can be delivered to the people. In a post to her fans on social media, she said: “One family every ten minutes is fleeing and coming to this particular border.
“We have committed to $10 million in aid. That’s 40 containers containing $250,000 of aid each. Our goal is now $20M in aid.”
The situation is dire with reports indicating that numerous people have decided to flee Ukraine in order to relocate to neighboring countries.
As of now, Poland and Romania are just some of the countries that stated they are willing to accept those escaping the conflict.
And at a time where the world is coming together to help stop a conflict that threatens European, or even global security, Bethenny’s efforts have already reached those neighboring countries, who will be able to act as quickly as possible.
She stated: “We’re really dealing with women and children at the border in Poland. Our team is in Poland, and will reach the border of Budomierz – Hruszów… in one and a half hours.”
Bettheny was praised by her fans, who recognised that she was going out of her way, when there was no obligation on her to do so. After all, she is living a comfortable life.
One person wrote: “This is fantastic, I’m so impressed with Bethenny Frankel. Sometimes being smaller means being quick and flexible. Her charity is amazing, organised and efficient.”
It is great to see Bethenny giving back to those in need and long may that continue going forward. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
