family is now hosting three Ukrainian refugees who fled their country in February when the Russian invasion began. Adel Kuchyk and her host mom, Melanie Vitovsky, spent Monday grabbing some essentials from the store. Less than 48 hours ago, Adel, her fiancé Michael, and her 14-year-old brother Maxim, arrived in Houston as Ukrainian refugees."When they left Ukraine, they had minutes to get what they could and get out the country," Melanie said.
"She came into Calexico, California, and then we had to get her to the San Diego airport and get her to fly here," Melanie said. Her responsibilities as a college student instead now transformed into becoming a mom to her little brother.
