Award-winning pop star Harry Styles collaborated with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and gave three Ukrainian refugees the opportunity to attend his concert in Poland as part of his “Love on Tour” world tour. It is about Maryna and her 13-year-old daughter, Daria, as well as her daughter’s friend Kathina, who after the Russian invasion of Ukraine live in the city of Sosnowiec, Poland.

Since we were forced to leave our home in Ukraine last year, it has been a challenge to adjust to a new country – especially for my daughter, Daria, and my 10-year-old son. I am so grateful to Harry Styles and the IRC who supported me to pursue my dream career in Poland,” said Maryna and adds. “They gave us a chance to forget our worries for a night of singing and dancing».

Concert

Maryna and her family are from the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv. Due to the war, they were forced to leave it in July 2022. Today, he dreams of becoming a tram driver while declaring that he is lucky to have found safety and support in Sosnowiec, in the city where they are gradually rebuilding their lives with the help of the IRC.
