💙 "Thank You for Standing With Us - Here's What's Next"

**Dear Friend,** Thank you for signing our petition for the Ukrainian Adjustment Act. Your signature was one of **47,400+ voices** calling for permanent legal pathways for displaced Ukrainian families. **I have an important update to share.** Last month, I met with U.S. Congressman John Larson to discuss the Ukrainian Adjustment Act. He expressed strong support for our cause and committed to helping Ukrainian families secure permanent legal protection. This is the kind of progress your signature helped make possible. But there's still so much work to do. **Meet Natalia.** She fled Ukraine with her two children and two bags—everything she owned. She will never see her husband again. Today, she's trying to stand on her feet while facing an impossible question: how to tell her children their father died. With only temporary legal status, she can't secure stable housing, access grief counseling, or build the future her family deserves. Natalia is not alone. Thousands of women and children are living in legal uncertainty, unable to plan for tomorrow. That's why I founded the **Svetlana Foundation** — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to securing permanent legal pathways and economic stability for displaced Ukrainian families. **Here's how you can help right now:** 1. **Visit our website:** svetlanafoundation.com See the real stories and learn about our advocacy work. 2. **Make a donation:** - $25 provides English learning materials for newly arrived families - $100 connects a family to legal resources and mental health support - $500 funds policy meetings with federal lawmakers *(100% tax-deductible.
