Dear Friends,
This is the latest update concerning Sahko, Olha and Yasya. Olha and Yasya are still in Krakow, Poland but their apartment is provided only until July 31st. Olha is concerned about what will come after that as apartment prices have sharply risen and availability is at an all-time low in the larger Polish cities given the extraordinary number of refugees that need to be housed.
In response to a request for photos, Olha provided us with the attached photos. One picture from the last summer. It was a good trip to the Western Ukrainian town Drohobych, which is famous for its salt. The other two other photos are of Olha and Yasya – from Krakow, where they are now.
Olha appreciates our support, as she mentioned in her last email to Sharon Dashow in which she stated "Four days a week Yaroslava spends in a Jewish museum "Galicia". This organisation settled a group for kids from Ukraine. I love this place very much, and I am really grateful for your kindness and support." (sic)
To date, we have collected over $1,000, most of which we will be releasing to Olha this week. We hope people will continue to contribute so that we can make a difference in their lives. As we have mentioned in the past, they also need our emotional support and, as such, we encourage you to email Olha at kuprolya@gmail.com.
