The JCC Global From Good to Great program is made possible thanks to a grant from the Jewish Federations of North America.The war is not over. The need has not disappeared.Listen. Remember. Stand with Ukraine.

In this episode, Victoria shares the moment that forced her to leave with her teenage daughter and their guinea pig, what it meant to rebuild her life from nothing as a refugee, and how she went from standing in line for aid to finding purpose in providing that same support for others.
