A British woman living in Poland has been hand-delivering aid to the Ukrainian border - including vital packages sent from people back in the UK.
Faye Savage, 30, has been rallying volunteers and fundraising for the people in Ukraine to deliver critical medical equipment and household donations for "as long as we have to".
Faye has given out her home address in Poland, which is located next to Schindler's factor, and is using it as a base and a community 'drop-in centre' for residents and local people to bring aid.
She has now had to take on volunteers to assist her in the journey to the Ukrainian border, which is normally a couple of hours drive away but is expected to take a lot longer.

The group of volunteers will then carry out daily deliveries to Ukrainians in need and have been putting up posters locally for support.
Faye, who works as a digital consultant for AB inBev, has said the response and support for her fundraiser, that she started last Friday had been "absolutely incredible".
She said: "My motivation, besides the completely unacceptable nature of what is going on, is that Ukraine has a close place in my heart.
“Poland has always welcomed me and treated me as part of the community - a community which also has a large Ukrainian expat gathering.
“My two best friends are Ukrainian and I work alongside Ukraines every day, I am extremely fond of the country and have travelled there too, so wanted to return a favour.
“I was just going to ask my parents and sister to donate at first but I have been inundated since I started the whole thing, it's crazy."
Faye was born in Bristol Southmead hospital and grew up in Clevedon before moving to Australia when she turned 24.
She has now been living in Kraków, Poland, for five years to be with her Polish partner.
Faye is collecting critical medical supplies and is hoping to deliver them to the boarder or to an aid support point due to the border's congestion.
For donations or delivery enquiries Faye encourages people to email her directly at: fayelouiesavage@gmail.com
