'Everyone had a normal life just one day before the war and after that in the night it started. It's changed everything.'
"Everyone had a normal life just one day before the war and after that, in the night it started. It's changed everything," said Vesalova."In Kharkiv, she stopped being a normal kid. She'd just sit on me. She wouldn't be active and didn't want anything," she said."She's running she's happy. She's running now with Callie's son. She likes him so much and she knows now many English words," explained Vesalova.
Callie is her host through Slavic Refugee and Immigrant Services Organization. It's a non-profit that's already helping a hundred Ukrainians settle."It's so gratifying that I can do something because I still remember the very first day that the news broke that Ukraine was being invaded and I remember sitting there and just feeling like, 'This is just so horrible. I wish I could do something,'" said Callie Efron, sponsor.
The non-profit said it needs to help seven more families find housing immediately but is working to help 50 to 70.
