Just a quick follow-up to the blog post from last week: the taxi drivers are back, safe and sound. They took over 25 tons of supplies to the Ukrainian border, and returned with 135 Ukrainian war refugees, mostly babies and small children, their mothers and some senior citizens.
On their return, more than 100 taxis lined the streets of Madrid, honking horns and heartily cheering the return of these courageous drivers who made a difference. Then as they got out of the taxis, the refugees cried and hugged their drivers. In one video I saw, there is a young mother being interviewed and she says “I never dreamed I’d be a refugee. Yeah…No one wants to leave their home. But, here we’re safe… ” and she stops talking, her eyes filled with tears.
Poor thing. I can only imagine what she’s going through.
Here’s a link to some reporting on Twitter.
And from what I’ve heard, this story is inspiring more people to take action, across Spain and Europe, to help.
