Ukrainian sisters use bakery to raise money for those hurting back home

D Light Cafe & Bakery in D.C. saw long lines of people wanting to donate.

Vira Derun's parents live outside of Ukraine's capital Kyiv, where the threat of Russian bombs and missiles has become part of daily life.

Her father fights in the Ukrainian army while her mother and grandmother defend their house and offer shelter to neighbors whose homes have been destroyed.

Derun said she begged her family to come to the U.S. and to leave her childhood home, but they refused to use their American visas.

To help raise money for those back in Ukraine, Derun and her sister, Anastasiia, started taking donations at their Washington, D.C., bakery, driven by a simple mindset.
