Her family hosted them at their home in Castle Rock, Colorado, during Christmas.Martin said she didn’t want to reveal the girls’ names for safety reasons, but she said they are 9, 12, and 16 years old.“We knew this was coming, that things weren’t looking great over there, and we didn’t want to send them back at all,” Martin said. “We had hoped that would work out.
They learned recently that the sisters had successfully made it out of Ukraine, and are seeking refuge in Poland.
