“Dear Sharon,

Thank you for your letter, it's interesting to read about different traditions – and its very pleasant to know about the way you nurture traditions and family ties.

I miss my family so much, and I miss my language and traditions. It was needed to go to Ukraine to know that I cannot see me in different countries. That's why it was very hard to come back to Poland.

Yaroslava is going to school here, but its also not easy with adaptation. I decided to be here only for six months, but it seems so long now.

Thank you for your support, not only financial. It's really important for me to feel the connection along the distances.

I send you two photos – one with my family, from Lviv, and another from the first day of school in Kraków.

Yours sincerely

Olha”
