RANCHO MISSION VIEJO, Calif.—More than 6,000 miles away from the battlefields of Ukraine, a group of seniors helped create first-aid kits on March 15 to be delivered to the country.

Clad in the national colors of Ukraine with blue and yellow tee shirts, the participants residing at The Orchards Health Center, an assisted-living community, in Rancho Mission Viejo, California, were writing messages of encouragement to the victims of war and, at the same time, assembling first-aid kits that would then be shipped on the same day through Meest-America, Inc.—an international humanitarian organization—who will be transporting the aid supplies to the Red Cross in Ukraine.
