In the August newsletter, the Sillery's shared they had applied to host Ukranian refugees. Jim has now shared that their application was approved:

"Debby and I have been approved to sponsor Eduard Yakavyk, a 21-year-old refugee from Mariupol, Ukraine, Eduard is medically exempt from military service. He is in his fourth year of college as a math major.  Debby and I are committed to getting him into OU in January 2023. He has no resources. So, we are naturally looking for people to partner with us.

I have formed New Beginnings Athens, LLC to handle the money and my most pressing need right now is finding a treasurer. Eduard will live with us for as long as necessary but want him to be independent when he wants. We expect him to arrive in the coming week!"

Please contact Jim with any questions and ways you would like to partner to help Eduard.
