Donations will go towards defraying the travel costs and governmental fees for Ukrainian refugees at the Mexican border, and further costs to resettle refugees in Connecticut, including living expenses until a work permit is secured (3-6 months estimated). This is a 100% pass-through campaign to cover the travel costs of the mission to provide pro bono legal assistance to Ukrainian refugees at the US-Mexico border and the governmental filing fees associated with their immigration applications.



Immigration attorney Dana Bucin (member of the Romanian community in Connecticut) led a team of attorneys on April 13-15, 2022 to the Tijuana – San Diego border checkpoint to facilitate pro bono legal assistance to Ukrainian nationals with applying for entry to the US, work permits, and counseling regarding any other avenues for securing status in the US or bringing relatives affected by the war. Donations will go towards defraying the travel costs and governmental fees for Ukrainian refugees at the Mexican border, and further costs to resettle refugees in Connecticut, including living expenses until a work permit is secured (3-6 months estimated).
