A Virginia nonprofit is partnering with the Polish government to help Ukrainian children who fled their homes.
Capital Caring Health, which is headquartered in Falls Church, will provide robotic cats and dogs as companion pets to refugee children who've had to leave their own pets behind because of the war.
The organization provides hospice, palliative and elder care services to around 120,000 patients in Maryland, Virginia and D.C.
CCH said in a statement that the effort has been approved by Polish officials and the robotics pets will be flown to Poland for distribution.
The statement says that clinical studies indicate that robotic pets can be a source of comfort for children between the ages of 3 to 10.
