Helping Hand
While Milana was on vacation with her father in Greece, she made the decision to fly to the island of Lesbos, where currently the Syrian refugees are flying into. She wanted to do what she could to help out. As a former refugee, this crisis really hit close to home. In the photo below, Milana is in a car with a Syrian family as they’re headed to the registration camp from the boat they just arrived to Lesbos on.

Reason
A part of the reason she’s so invested in helping refugees is because there was an organization that helped her family get settled into their new lives in America. Milana said, “We had a lot of help when we got to America. One of the organizations that helped us, they had a record of all the money they spent on us for our health care bills, and education programs, and so my favorite thing that I’ve done is just pay them back, because they invested in us. It’s my karmic duty to help them, because we’ve been helped so much.”
