CALABASAS, Calif. -- The owners of Calakids, a children's clothing store in Calabasas, have stepped up to support Ukraine by sending hundreds of goods like clothing and supplies to help those impacted by the war with Russia."Innocent kids and families just running for their survival. It hits home," Calakids co-owner Marianna Lunner said."While we're here, you know, you feel so helpless, and I guess this was our way of trying to help in the little way we could.

Lunner and fellow co-owner Nelly Cobos started by boxing up clothes and other goods they had at the store, then they reached out to their community on social media and the response was huge. Within days, they had truckloads of goods to send to Ukraine. "It just blew up, it became this huge undertaking," Cobos said."We got so much support from our community and friends and vendors, and I mean the outpouring of love has been absolutely overwhelming."
