“When I left Ukraine, I had to leave behind my home, career and my friends. Starting over in a new country was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Literacy Volunteers gave me more than just English lessons. It gave me the chance to rebuild my life. With Family Centers’ support, I earned my real estate license and now am able to continue a career where I can help families, including other Ukrainian refugees, find a place to call home.”
