A new life in a new land
When the war began, Anna and Aleksander had just graduated from college. A family friend sponsored their move to the U.S. through the U4U visa program but offered no additional support, leaving them on their own with limited resources.
Struggling to find work and adjust to their new life, they eventually connected with JCFS, which provided financial and rental assistance. Anna found a job at a local flower shop, and with hard work and the short-term support from HIAS, they saved enough to open their own shop. Their business is thriving, and they employ two full-time florists while gaining a large social media following.
The support HIAS and the U4U program provides is essential for helping recent arrivals like Anna and Aleksander navigate the challenges of starting over in a new country, offering them the stability needed to build a successful future.
