After making it through the unimaginable, refugees of war face hurdle after hurdle as they seek to rebuild their life in a foreign place with often only the clothes on their backs. An opportunity to help soften the blow of Ukrainian refugees can be a piece of cake this Saturday at Market On Main in Vernal. Iryna, Misha and Ihor are refugees from Mariupol, Ukraine who “survived 38 straight days of bombing by staying in a little room underneath their bombed apartment building,” shares Market On Main. “Their beautiful city was completely destroyed. The soldiers put them in a filtration camp. When they were released they had to take a bus all the way across Russia and into Estonia to escape the war.” Iryna, Misha, and Ihor are now staying in Vernal with a sponsor family and hoping to start a new life here. Iryna worked as a baker in Ukraine and is making her honey cream cake that will be for sale this Saturday from 11 to 2 at a pop up booth at Market On Main, 14 West Main Street in Vernal. Please come support this family that has been through so much!
