'Fairy godmother' fills home with supplies for Ukrainian mums [View all]
A Co Laois mother-of-three has filled her home with supplies such as buggies, car seats and schoolbags for Ukrainian families to help them get settled in Ireland.
Lynn Ryder, who lives in Mountmellick, felt "compelled to do something to help" at the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
"I thought if I was on my own with my six, four and two-year-olds, what would I need? And the answer was everything," she explained.
Ms Ryder started a GoFundMe campaign and has been using the money to buy supplies on various reselling sites, as well as some new items depending on what it is the Ukrainian mums she is in contact with need.
