“We lived on the 10th floor and every time there was an alarm I grabbed Kseniia by the arms and we ran ten floors down to the bomb shelter. That was scary. I told Kseniia that it’s like a game where the goal is to get to the shelter as quickly as possible. Recently, power outages started and we were constantly sitting in the dark. You can’t go on living like this. I want a good future for my daughter. I want her to laugh, meet children her age, and meet new friends.” Serhii, a father on making aliyah with his family to escape war-torn Ukraine
