As hundreds of Ukrainians try and find refuge in San Diego, one family has found a temporary home. That home, is all thanks to a Carmel Valley couple who decided to open their doors and their hearts.
Like many other families, the Kovalchuk's traveled thousands of miles, through numerous countries, just to touch American soil and feel safe.For this mom, the outpouring our community has shown her and her three children, is a blessing she can't even put into words.On March 1st, Olga tells ABC10 News, she fled the only place she's called home.
"We couldn't predict the situation, we tried to do the best we were afraid to make the wrong decision." Olga then looks down at her children with a smile,"But I think we made the right decision."She says she now knows that they are safe,"This means everything to me. I have never been treated in such a kind way."
Carolyn says that there really wasn't any planning, just doing. And now she is back to having a full house."She's alone," explains her mother. Olga furthers that her daughter was supposed to meet her at the border the day they fled, but her ex-husband failed in his promise to meet them. "It's so different," shares the oldest Max."In Ukraine it's cold and here it's hot. There's palm trees. I like palm trees!" he says with a laugh.
