Bethenny Frankel is sending $10 million in aid to Ukrainian citizens affected by the Russian invasion through her disaster relief initiative, B Strong. BStrong is a worldwide initiative in partnership with Global Empowerment Mission. Over the past couple days, the "Real Housewives of New York City" alum has been sharing updates on her nonprofit's urgency to help Ukrainian citizens flee to safety as the crisis escalates.
On Friday night, the Skinnygirl entrepreneur took to Instagram to share that BStrong has focused its efforts on helping Ukrainian women and children who fled to the border of Poland. "So we're really dealing with women and children at the border in Poland. We just had an incident with a woman whose husband was pulled out of the car.
He was taken because he's Ukrainian, and the men can't leave," Frankel said in a video shared to her Instagram Story. "He's never held a gun in his life, and now he's a soldier, so she's coming through with her family, and we have to get her family to Spain, where she has family because she doesn't have family in Poland," she continued. Frankel first announced BStrong's assistance on Thursday.The initial commitment was to send 100,000 hygiene and survival kits, sleeping bags and aid totaling $10 million.
In addition, financial donations are also going to "individual cases and families through cash, cards and plane tickets." Frankel said the BStrong team will be on hand at a welcome booth at an entry center in Medyka, Poland, Saturday.
