A Philadelphia church is ready to welcome the first Ukrainian refuges to the city after a treacherous journey to escape their war-torn homeland.
St. Nicholas Patriarchal Orthodox Church in North Philadelphia will welcome Alla and Veronika Tuesday night. The woman walked 450 miles from Kiev to Warsaw, Poland to escape the war.
"I think everyone identifies with this," Guz said. "A democratic country minding their business boom! Being attacked!" Refugees from Ukraine are to arrive at the Saint Nicholas Church in Northern Liberties. FOX 29's Shaynah Ferreira has the story. "People who were determined to leave when war breaks out fled in the first days," explained Anna Michalska, a spokeswoman for the Polish border guards.Delaware County bartender crafts fundraiser for Ukraine refugees
