Maria Swerchowsky is a first-generation Ukrainian American who lives in Bay Village with her husband and two daughters. Her father immigrated to the United States with his parents for a better life.
BAY VILLAGE, Ohio — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is asking congressional leaders for aid as the devastation in the besieged country continues.
Swerchowsky still has family in Kiev who she keeps in touch with, but when she saw the devastation being caused by the Russian attacks on Ukraine, she wanted to do something to help. “That night my phone was just blowing up. We had raised over $10,000 in medical supply donations in 24 hours from MedWish,” Swerchowsky said. “They just kept coming. The donations just kept flying off of the Amazon wish list.”
