Three families mark Christmas together
A family with roots in both Maple Ridge and Langley are celebrating a Christmas like no other – with two additional families from Ukraine.
One family is actively looking for housing of their own, but that is proving to be a real challenge. As anyone who has tried knows, finding a place to rent is a challenge, and rents have risen significantly in the past year. Westland Church is a multicultural church with members speaking English, Russian, and Farsi. In addition to helping Ukrainians, church members are also helping Iranian refugees.
One of the benefits of living with the Gileffs is that communication is generally pretty good. David is of Ukrainian and Russian background and speaks Russian fluently. That is the main language he uses to communicate with the people in his home.
