Maria Galbo, a resident of Albany, CA, started an organization that works to rehome elderly refugees from Ukraine’s dangerous eastern regions. The organization, “Under a Kind Roof”, visits shelters in western Ukraine to create profiles of refugees in need of permanent shelter, then finds, negotiates, and leases homes and apartments for them.

Maria Galbo, Stanislav Shoupletsov, and Elena Akopova negotiate rental terms with a landlord. The home has water damage and mold, and the landlord is boisterous and rude. Maria and her team decide to not lease the home.
