PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Inside the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee offices in Northeast Philadelphia, stacks of boxes line nearly every corner.
Everything not nailed down will soon make its way to Ukraine.

"What else can we do besides the praying and the collecting money and hoping that we can support them as best as we can?" said Natalie Firko, president of the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center.
Firko says after eight years of war, many Ukrainians and their families here in the states are watching and waiting with the rest of the world.
"The world needs to know that this is just the start. If we let (Vladimir Putin) do this. You know, who knows what's next?" Firko said.
Family members in the region are also contemplating the next steps.
"Are you concerned about the possibility of war happening now?" asked Action News reporter George Solis.
"Actually, I am afraid of it," said one Ukrainian resident in Philadelphia.
Many are hoping diplomacy can still prevail.
"I want the peace. Not for me, because I live here, but my relatives, my kids, my grandkids, peace only for them but for generations to come," said the woman.
