It's been six weeks since Dana and Vitalii Dubrovin arrived in Calgary and now they're sorting through the latest donation of kitchen items from Deb Darbyshire. She's the owner of Just Junk Calgary and has already helped them furnish their new apartment in the city's southwest.
Vitalii and Dana Dubrovin are Ukrainian Refugees who are looking through their latest batch of donated items by Just Junk Calgary to help them get established in their new home
The Dubrovins were staying with a friend of Darbyshire's when they first arrived in Calgary on September 21. The couple did a lot of research to find groups to help on Facebook but didn't expect to find such generosity from a friend of a friend. "We met a lot of kind people who were ready to help Ukrainians," said Vitalii. "We very appreciate that."
The two lived in Kharkiv, close to the Russian border. They have been married for seven years and left family and friends February 24th, 2022.
