Mihaela interviewed Beni Faragau, pastor at Iris Baptist Church and a volunteer who served several weeks with logistics and hands on support hosting Ukrainian refugee families at the church intake center. Furthermore, Mihaela interviewed one Ukrainian female refugee who receives cancer treatment at the Oncology Hospital in Cluj-Napoca and is hosted at Casa Filip (Filip’s House) where she receives hot meals, clothing and case management assistance.

Mihaela traveled to the city of Dej where she will stay until Monday morning when she and the team will leave for Ukraine. She met with the House of Hope vice president and reviewed the list of donated items purchased so far and finalized the remaining items needed to be purchased.

The refugee crisis in Ukraine is far from over. There are many ways to help refugees in your neighborhood, from monetary support to volunteering your time. Support Ukrainian Refugees in Michigan.
