The reverend believes families, here, would be ready when needed.
LORAIN, Ohio - The heartbreak in Ukraine is clear, families torn apart as some stay to fight as the Russian attack deepens as others flee to the border and safety and with the number of casualties growing some of those families will never be re-united.
Reverend Dmitri Belenki of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Lorain is urging Americans to continue to donate, money and medical supplies, but he has also started to take a long view of the devastation. In the face of the devastation he has seen, Rev. Belinki is pushing for the Lorain community to begin preparing for the potential of Ukrainian refugees.
He is, in some respects is following the lead of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine who has ordered Ohio’s Department of Job and Family Services to meet next week with partners across the state to begin the process of preparing state agencies to meet the needs of potential refugee families.“I really believe that American citizens and the community and the communities around us are much more prepared than probably the government expects them to be,” he said.
