Day 10

The Ukrainian refugee children and mothers were taken to the local immigration office to register with the local authorities and apply for temporary protected status. The People and Deeds team took some of them to the pharmacy to fill some immediately needed prescriptions. In the early afternoon, the team headed to the final destination where the families are able to stay for a minimum of three months, where they can integrate and received the medical and social assistance they need.

Mihaela spent the last two days traveling from Suceava to Bucharest with a few stops in beautiful Bicaz Chei, Lacul Rosu, Harghita and crossing through Bucegi mountains at an altitude of 2000 meters. The scenery was absolutely astounding, and a great place for reflection and processing of the last 12 days intense experiences. The trip came to an end on Saturday, May 14th, when Mihaela arrived safely to her hometown of Troy, Michigan.
