A week ago, native Russian Anastasia Gorelova and Ukrainian-born Karina Shevchenko had never met. Then came the invasion. Hear how conflict brought them together, what their friends and families are experiencing back home, and what they need now from their adopted neighbors in Pittsburgh.
If you’re hoping to help, Karina suggests donating directly to St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church, 109 S. 7th St., in the South Side. They’re collecting medical supplies like analgesics, gauze and tape, as well as thermal underwear, lanterns, and headlamps. Karina says those supplies will be shipped to Ukraine next week.
