Ivan Chaban is a Ukrainian teenager now living in San Diego who lost part of his leg in the war. He has learned to walk on his prosthetic leg but now needs a new host family.
Six months ago, Ivan Chaban, 15, was walking with his family back to their village of Chaplyschci in eastern Ukraine near the Russian border carrying much needed groceries following the invasion of Russian troops.
Ukrainian Independence Day also marked six months since Russia invaded the country. A Ukrainian refugee family living in San Diego sees the day as a bittersweet celebration.
