“Jim and I remain good friends with many of our former colleagues in Slovakia. They have been keeping us informed of the influx of refugees into Košice, estimating that more than 17,000 refugees have arrived,” said Roda. “On behalf of our friends and former colleagues, we wanted to provide swift support so that they can deliver immediate aid to people in need.”
