My name is Alona Matchenko and I am a business owner, a resident of northwest Ohio, a student at the University of Toledo College of Law, and a native of Ukraine. I am married to Jesse Smith and we have a four year old daughter named Jasmine. My husband and I own a residential care business in Perrysburg.

 

I earned a bachelors in education and two masters degrees in Ukraine and was a primary school teacher in Kyiv for six years before coming to the United States in 2016, fleeing the revolution in Ukraine. I am a 2L at the College of Law with a desire to work in government.

 

Currently my entire extended family including Mother, Step father and two minor siblings remain under fire in Ukraine. I will continue to actively engage with the Toledo community to build support and aid for Ukraine.

In Ukraine I received bachelor’s and master’s degree in Apllied Linguistic and shortly after graduation I moved to USA. My parents and grandparents still live in Ukraine. Before the pandemic my family and I traveled to Ukraine. It was our first time going all together. It

was one of the best experiences for my husband, kids and of course me.

 

Russian aggression against Ukraine is very heartbreaking. We are here far away from home and our families feeling hopeless, but we are doing our best to spread the word, build support and aid Ukraine
