A Ukrainian Naperville resident and local nonprofit Blue/Yellow USA have continued sending non-lethal aid supplies to Ukraine amid an ongoing conflict.
Board president Ausra Tallat-Kelpsa Di Raimondo traveled to Lviv, Kyiv, and Zaporizhzhia in June — she noted that increased bombing and lower donations made support more urgent.
