A CHEQUE of $300 has been presented to a Ukrainian family from the Mooroopna Kiwanis, to support them to settle in the region.
Maryna fled war torn Ukraine with her 15-year-old son, Vlad to Poland. With the help of her sister and brother-in-law, who live in outside of
Shepparton in Kialla, Maryna was able to obtain a three-year visa for herself and Vlad to come to Australia from Poland.
Maryna is attending TAFE and Vlad is studying at the English Language Centre before he returns to school. While the future when their visa expires remains uncertain, this support from the community will do some ways in setting them up in the region.
