In some fleeting moments, I was able to connect with an old schoolmate, now living in New York. She was so afraid for me and told me to come to the U.S. because Ukraine was not safe. In April 2022, I crossed the border from Ukraine to Hungary, then to London, and finally made my way to Mexico. I didn’t come with much, just a backpack. When I got to Mexico City, I wanted to cross the southern border, but then I got word that Biden had closed the border.

En algunos momentos fugaces, pude conectar con una antigua compañera de colegio, que ahora vive en Nueva York. Temía mucho por mí y me dijo que viniera a Estados Unidos porque Ucrania no era segura. En abril de 2022 crucé la frontera de Ucrania a Hungría, luego a Londres y finalmente me dirigí a México. No vine con mucho, solo con una mochila. Cuando llegué a Ciudad de México, quería cruzar la frontera sur, pero me dijeron que Biden había cerrado la frontera.
