Having left their war-torn country, twelve Ukrainian refugees arrived in Anchorage Saturday morning, greeted by family and new friends.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Twelve Ukrainian refugees arrived Saturday morning at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. For nearly three months, the Ukraine Relief Program has been working to bring Ukrainians impacted by the war to Alaska.
After raising $150,000, the small group landed in Anchorage ready to start a new chapter of their lives. Bershytska flew in on Saturday with her husband. The two of them are meeting his family and hope that Alaska could potentially be a new home for them. Many like them shared a similar story and were greeted by family members.
“Since she called me at five in the morning for her‚” Gillespie said. “And she said there are missiles flying over our heads, and I said pack your bags and leave. She couldn’t. She was a nurse. She had a job to do.”“Unreal that she was able to come here and I can offer her that safety that she couldn’t go through,” Gillespie said.
