Thank you!

Short report.

So far I received about 285 dollars, I say about since PayPal presents your
gifts in USD, Euro or Sek and I haven't had time calculating yet.
The trip went well, there were fewer refugees today than there has been all
week and the governments ability to care for the refugees has increased
etc. Anyway we did far from fill the cars which of course is mostly good
because this means they will all sleep in a bed tonight and by the look of
the faces they need it.
The prognosis is that the numbers will increase and we are ready to take
care of many in our great group of people. People all along the way have
have been very supportive. We have got free food, diapers and one phone
company (the same that will deliver this message) handed away SIM-cards
with 100 GB of data and free calls in Sweden and to Ukraine. We brought
back three families with children from 0-13 years, very tired and relieved.
One family is at our neighbors but none here, yet.
As you can understand I haven't used any of your money yet (I don't think
Ylva wants to be payed for the food she bought and put in the neighbours
guesthouse). Our group though know and are amazed that I have a real good
sum from you if it's needed for the families that are here and more
families will come. If not I know people that regularly travels to the
polish ukranian border with stuff needed.

More later or if you hav any questions know I need to feed us at home.

Mattias
