One Utah man and some of his friends are now in Poland to help Ukrainians after they cross the border. They call themselves “The Happy Band.”
Michael Kezele, a student at Brigham Young University, joined his friends in renting vans to help shuttle refugees from the border to hotels.Kezele’s mission friend posted on Facebook asking if anyone wanted to come to the border to help Ukrainians.By the time Kezele reached Prague on March 5, five people had joined the team — they call themselves “The Happy Band.”
Many refugees have left behind fathers, brothers and husbands in Ukraine to fight the war — they’re tired, but Kezele said they’re resilient. The small band volunteers used Google Translate to talk with the refugees, especially during long hours across the country. There are countless stories, years of memories made from moments. One, in particular, came when Kezele tried to help a family of six find a stroller.
