countries, and nearly as many are believed to be internally displaced.
Other Ukrainian refugees, like Zaviriukha and his family, have found refuge in the United States thanks to a humanitarian parole program created by the Biden administration last April. The program,was designed to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion for a two-year period. To qualify, refugees must have a sponsor in the U.S. who agrees to support them financially for the duration of their stay.
During the first months of the war, Zaviriukha and his family moved to different locations within Ukraine to remain safe, but he said that one day he realized he needed to leave the country. He had a friend in the U.S. who told him about the humanitarian parole program and encouraged him to apply. “I heard about the program from a friend ... and I just thought I should do it, especially because my dad had been sponsored [through] a different program. He came from Malaysia, and I felt like this was the perfect, you know, kind of full circle [and] karma kind of thing,” she told Yahoo News.
After talking for a few weeks, Dizzia and her husband, a business owner, submitted the necessary documents to sponsor Zaviriukha, his wife and their two children, who are 5 and 8 years old. They were approved at the end of August and arrived in Florida in late September. Since then, the Zaviriukhas have been living near the Dizzias in
Even though hosting the Ukrainian family has come with some challenges, Dizzia explained that it has been a very rewarding experience as well. “It’s been really meaningful to see how the family is adapting and just to be able to help someone who needs help,” she said.
