Ukraine native Mykhaylo Gryb and his wife Ashley Testa rallied to bring loved ones to the United States after Russia’s attack on their home nation.

After several pleas to federal and local lawmakers and creating an online petition, seven relatives were recently approved for travel visas.“It was shocking because a lot of people in this situation who apply for travel visas aren’t approved,” said Ashley Testa.Visitors cannot work or go to school“I definitely don’t encourage people to go through that process. It’s a big challenge for refugees who’ve already been through so much and want to reestablish,” said Testa.

The couple managed to help their relatives who fled Ukraine to Poland. But there’s not much they can do now for the family still in Ukraine.Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4Jax - All rights reserved.
