The eastern portion of Ukraine has been hit the hardest; many cities have been completely destroyed by bombs and shelling, leaving thousands of people with nowhere to live and nowhere to go.
In March, Victoria left her hometown of Slavyansk to protect her kids, Karolina (13) and Georgiy (5), from the dangers and chaos of constant sirens and explosions. The family took only the few things they could pack in a bag and carry with them as they traveled to the Ivano-Frankivsk region; after a brief stay they moved on to Sumy.
In Sumy, friends are helping to provide short term housing, but with no job and no source of income, Victoria is dependent on JRNU for the family's existence.
