The Dishlovyi Family - from Ukraine to Buffalo, NY

Jewish Family Service (JFS) offers comprehensive services to refugee families from diverse communities around the world, including resettlement assistance, counseling, and community integration programs. For their first gala fundraiser, JFS collaborated with A Special Story to create a compelling documentary featuring the Dishlovyi family. This powerful film highlighted the resilience and challenges faced by the Ukranian family as they resettled in Buffalo, NY. Through strategic storytelling and creative videography, the documentary not only brought their journey to life but also played a crucial role in JFS's fundraising efforts. Along with two other stories, the film effectively showcased the vital support JFS provides, helping to drive donations and increase awareness of JFS's mission to support and empower vulnerable populations.
