A refugee family that fled Ukraine after Russian troops invaded last year has found a new life and a unique community in the Bay Area.
The St. Francis Center is not just a school. It provides food and clothes. There are 259 housing units serving low-income families, mostly Latinx."In one sense, their stories are the same," Heltsley said."There is a lot of violence that they have witnessed and experienced. They are recent immigrants. They needed us to welcome them, and we do."
The school is free but requires one parent to be on site once a week. Karpenko spends it brushing up on conversational English. "We want to raise up the whole family in terms of literacy, not just the blessed lucky kid that got in here," Heltsley said."When they text message and chat in Spanish, I need to use vocabulary every time and Google translate," Karpenko said."I decided that it could be useful.""That we have met them, that they have found us," Karpenko said."Very appreciated from the bottom of my heart.
