Folk musician Pál István Szalonna said in the program that what is happening in the neighboring country is incomprehensible. The musician from Transcarpathia added: in recent days, many people have offered their help, offering housing to the refugees. He said that accommodation for the refugees has also been set up in the House of Traditions, and classes will also be held for the children from Monday.

The Ukrainian minority in Hungary has also joined forces to help the refugees, their representatives are present at the border and in Budapest. It was said in the program that two sick children had brought to the Good to be good! staff from Munkács to Hungary to receive the necessary medical treatment, as this could not have taken place in Ukraine due to the state of war. Due to the war, several sick children will receive medical treatment in Hungary.

György Velkey, CEO of the Bethesda Children's Hospital, joined the program via Skype, who said that they receive many similar requests. The children who turn to them are placed in the right place and receive appropriate medical treatment in Hungary. The hospital also helps, for example, in distributing missing laboratory materials to Transcarpathia. Many hospital workers provide professional medical care to refugees at Nyugati railway station and Záhony.

Several higher education institutions have offered their help, including Debrecen, Győr and Pécs, providing accommodation to the refugees.
