Ukraine: Manx appeal sends 200 Christmas boxes to Ukraine

The Manx public have shown “overwhelming” support for a Christmas shoebox appeal for Ukrainian children, organisers have said.

More than 180 young people living in an orphanage in Boryslav, near Lviv, will receive a box with toys and hats and gloves donated by residents.

Katie O'Hae, who started the collection, said it meant the children would have something to open on Christmas Day.
