Chance encounter at lemonade stand reconnects family who evacuated from Ukraine
✄ snip
Rzeszow, Poland When brothers Axel and Oliver Langenkamp evacuated Ukraine, they couldn't take everything, leaving clothes, stuffed animals and even some favorite legos behind. They also couldn't take their parents, Sarah and Dan Langenkamp, diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.
After getting their boys safely to their grandparents in California, Dan and Sarah Langenkamp relocated to Poland to continue their work. "I really miss them," Oliver Langenkamp told CBS News.
So the brothers, 8 and 9 years old, decided to start a lemonade stand to raise money for World Central Kitchen, an organization that feeds Ukraine refugees. The response was overwhelming they made more than $2,000.
Miguel Abed, who is now serving those meals to refugees on the Polish border, stumbled across the boys' fundraiser in Coronado, California, just hours before flying to Poland.
