NEW YORK -- Suzanne Johnson's thoughts often turn to her late parents when she sees the heartbreaking video clips and news reports out of Ukraine.
Sometimes it's too much to take. And she just desperately wants to help.
It all hits close to home for Johnson, the wife of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. Her mother, Marie, was born to Ukrainian immigrant parents, while her father, Stefan Ircha, was from Ternopil -- a town outside of battle-rocked Kyiv -- and emigrated by himself to the United States when he was 21.
"My mother passed away 10 years ago and my father two years ago, and he must be turning in his grave right now," Suzanne Johnson told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
