Stephanie Goertz, the founder of the Waterloo Region Grassroots Response (WRGR), says there is a lack of knowledge and support for incoming Ukrainians.
“During the last month we’ve seen a huge influx from Ukrranians,” said Goertz. “We’re scrambling to keep up with the rate.”
Goetz added that WRGR receives between 25 to 30 requests a week from incoming Ukrainians.
