Two sisters are raising funds to secure permanent housing for the thousands of Ukrainian refugees in New York who fled their worn-torn homeland following Russia’s invasion.
Lidya and Gabriella Oros founded the Ukrainian Habitat Fund, which held its first fundraiser at the Keuka Kafe on Wednesday to help mark Ukrainian Independence Day.
The hosts passed out traditional bread and salt and Ukrainian beer and wine was served, with proceeds going to the cause.
“It’s a bittersweet moment. We are raising awareness,” Lidya Oros said at the event in Forest Hills, Queens. “Thank God there are soldiers defending Ukraine.”
