Warburton Motel has now received over 100 donations in their Ukraine relief effort that will help support civilians fleeing the battlefront.

Since asking their customers and local residents to contribute on Friday 4 March, over $2000 has been raised, which will help support hotels and motels along the refugee path in Ukraine to provide shelter and aid.

The motel plans to use the donations to book at least 10 rooms per business they support along the route to “try and spread the love a little bit” according to owner Richard Stanwix.
