Former governor helps deliver 37K pounds of aid to war-torn Ukrainian villages [Video]

ON THEIR WAY HOME. LETS GO. LETS GO, LETS GO FOR TIME. ELECTED NEW HAMPSHIRE GOVERNOR JOHN LYNCH ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE THIS WEEK. SO THIS IS WHERE THEY ALL COME AND HIDE. THEY HIDE FROM THE BOMBS HERE, VISITING SIX HARD-HIT VILLAGES PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY RUSSIAN FORCES TO DELIVER 37,000 POUNDS OF FOOD AND HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES TO CHILDREN IN SAFE HOUSES AND VILLAGES ON THE FRONT LINES. ITS A SHAME THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A BUNKER, BUT THE MISSION ALWAYS COMES WITH RISK. YESTERDAY, THE VAN CARRYING THE FORMER GOVERNOR AND WIFE, SUSAN, BROKE DOWN. THERE WERE TENSE MOMENTS UNTIL OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CONVOY COULD SWOOP IN AND GET THEM. PART OF OUR SAFETY MEASURES IS TO BUILD REDUNDANCY INTO ALL OUR SYSTEMS AND SO WE HAD ADDITIONAL VANS AVAILABLE TO GO AND MEET HIM AND CARRY ON. SUSAN MATHESON IS THE CO-FOUNDER OF COMMON MAN FOR UKRAINE. SOME OF THESE ROADS THAT WE TRAVERSE FOR TEN HOURS AT A TIME, 12 HOURS AT A TIME, OR HORRIBLE ROADS FILLED WITH OBSTACLES LIKE BURNED OUT BOMB SHELLS AND MARKED LANDMINES. BUT THEY ARE ALSO ROADS THAT TAKE THESE VOLUNTEERS TO THE CHILDREN THAT STILL DESPERATELY NEED THEIR HELP. IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, HONESTLY, ITS GIVEN A WHOLE NEW SORT OF FACE TO CONFLICT, I GUESS. KELLY MCVAY IS A HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR WHO JUST RETURNED FROM VOLUNTEER WORK WITH COMMON MAN AS A CAMP COUNSELOR FOR UKRAINIAN CHILDREN WHOSE FATHERS HAVE DIED IN THE WAR. I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE HOW STRONG AND RESILIENT THESE YOUNG KIDS ARE, AND HOW, YOU KNOW, IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE CONTINUE TO HELP THEM. NOW WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO GOVERNOR LYNCH FOR COMMENT TONIGHT, BUT HE IS IN TRANSIT. THE REST OF THE COMMON MAN TEAM WILL BE IN UKRAINE THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING DELIVERING
