“Here, we can just be very quick,” Bethenny shared with People about the aid coming.

The full kits will be filled with blankets, sleeping bags, toiletry kits, non-perishables and water, plus generators

“We’re very immediate because we already have a warehouse that’s filled with $16 million in aid,” she added.

BStrong, which is working with trucking partners, volunteers and logistical experts, has already begun to ship the crisis kits to Poland where it will set up refugee camps and begin distributing the aid by Monday.

“Today, one 40-foot container went,” she shared. “Tomorrow, two 40-foot containers will go out … And then Monday, two additional 40-footers will go out, and it’s good to sort of stagger because it’s a lot more than you can visualize: $10 million in aid is an extraordinary amount.”

She added of why the first shipments are going to Poland: “It’s taking people seven hours to exit. Airways are closed, so it’s taking seven hours for people to get out, and you’re seeing the crazy traffic, and it’s escalating. European countries are going to have to take in refugees, and Poland is already experiencing people coming in now. So it’s the ideal place to set up.”

Bethenny‘s BStrong also donated over a million face masks during the pandemic.
