Illia is my daughter's intelligent and compassionate tutor. We support him and continue to schedule lessons, even if he can not be there (at this moment). He is facing the unthinkable in his homeland. I don't know how else to help, except to say that we are here thinking of him and all those who have been forced into this tragedy. We will continue to push for peace and hope for his safety.
