> Your email on Ukraine relief investment involving the Rotary club arrived the same day as I got the following email from Jeannette Rasker, a resident at Pacific Reefs. I checked with Jeannette and it seemed like maybe a good idea if you could send this to your mail list if you feel it's appropriate. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

> Thanks Toby and hope you and Leona are doing good.

> I am not writing to you as a Board member, but as your neighbor.

> As you might be aware, there is a Ukrainian young couple, coming to live in this coastal area, and they are in fact arriving here in a couple of days, on the 10th of this month.
> He is a physician, and he is bringing his wife. I do not think there are children in this family.
> They are refugees and are joining their mother who now lives in Ft Bragg.
> She can not house them though!
> They have been given 5 days lodging for free, and then there is a possibility of shared housing: they would have a bedroom, and would have to share the kitchen and bathroom. I do not know for how long that is available.
> 
> Finances are an issue of course, and they have only a suitcase I imagine.
> A used car will be made available for them, and furniture and other supplies are pretty easy to come by.
> The mother is taking English as a second language classes in Ft Bragg.
> Through the school I can find a good reference if needed.
> 
> The question I have for you is:
> Are there options here on the Reef for them to stay for 4-6 months,  for a minimal fee or no fee, in a place where they can rest, have some privacy and figure out their next steps?
> 
> The only drawback would be the distance to Ft Bragg, ( the mother and her improving language skills).
> 
> If any of you can help out, please contact Melissa Kuhn Fornari at 707-813-4117 ormelfornari at gmail.com
> 
> Thank you for your consideration!
