Many turn to Project Dynamo and a Florida man named Bryan Stern who’s willing to dodge Ukraine's death and destruction to get people to safety.

Another nonprofit, South Florida's Kingsman Philanthropic, raises money to fund rescue operations. All of these ex-military guys are volunteers doing this dedicated and dangerous work.
