It’s hard to see images on the evening news and learn of the atrocities taking place in Ukraine, and not feel something. Ordinary people just trying to live suddenly being forced to take only what they can carry and run for their lives courtesy of a brutal Russian dictator and his army.
At best, most everyone condemns actions like this — especially in the modern era — but few have the will to do anything about it. But that simply wasn’t the case for Brian and Rose Segrave. The San Marcos couple said the events unfolding in Ukraine were “unacceptable” and it was time to do something about it.
“Frankly, this was pretty spontaneous, seeing the news daily was annoying us,” Brian said. “We literally walked over to the personal computer and booked airfare and a car on Expedia. The situation was unacceptable to us. We’re not activist or cause types, not even particularly politically engaged. This just felt like an imperative to act.”
