Thanks to donations and active visas, a Ukrainian family that fled their country is now safe in Utah.
Marlie Salamatin’s in-laws, Vitaly, Natalia, and Yura arrived in Salt Lake City last week after seven days straight of traveling. They say they feel blessed to be in the U.S. and are grateful to be safe.
The family even slept in airports along the way, flying out of Romania to Vienna, then Frankfurt, then Denver, and finally Utah.Once the bombing started earlier this month, the Chernega's knew they had to drop everything and leave. Yura, who started ninth grade this week, recalled the last few days in his home country.
But leaving proved challenging, and probably wouldn’t have been possible if they didn’t have travel visas from coming to Marlie and Igor’s wedding a few years ago. A few weeks ago, several thousand dollars were raised within hours from Marlie’s coworkers at Weave to help her family escape.
