“Dear PoPville,

Inna and her son Zhenya just arrived from Ukraine to DC two weeks ago on a special 2-year humanitarian parole visa. The gofundme was set up by a friend who who stayed with them in the Ukraine when she served there in the Peace Corps and who is generously hosting them here in DC. All donations go directly to supporting them, especially until Inna can receive her work authorization (which usually takes about 5-7 months). They are lovely and it would be so nice if we could help give them a warm welcome to DC.”

The GoFundMe says:

“My name is Elena, and I am fundraising to bring a female Ukrainian artist, Inna, and her young son to the U.S. on a special 2-year humanitarian parole visa called Uniting for Ukraine.

We are raising funds to help them pay rent on an apartment in the neighborhood so that the children’s schooling is not interrupted and they can focus on building a secure life here in D.C. (more…)
