Two months ago, four-year-old Joshua Oluwamogbiele was wrapped in a sleeping bag, lying in a cot inside a tent at the Romanian-Ukrainian border.

Now, he is blowing bubbles and picking dandelions in a sunny backyard in Elmsdale, N.S.

On March 3, the Oluwamogbiele family fled their home in Yuzhnoukrainsk, a city in southeastern Ukraine. Their eight-week journey, filled with terror and anguish, ended safely at their new home just 30 minutes outside of Halifax.

Bukunmi Oluwamogbiele said his family's hosts, the Powell family, have been crucial to their move to Canada. "We knew how difficult it was to migrate and relocate and start all over again without having the means or necessary options put into place," Oluwamogbiele said from their host family's home in Elmsdale. "We were actually relying on all the information we were able to gather with the help of our hosts, they have been so helpful."

When Russian forces invaded, Maria Oluwamogbiele packed what she could into two bags and left the family's home behind. Her husband, Bukunmi, was at sea for work at the time, so she was alone with Joshua and her infant daughter, Sarah.

"Crossing the border from Ukraine to Romania was a long process because it required six hours by road and then another one hour by ferry," said Bukunmi Oluwamogbiele, translating for Maria.

"It was chilly outside, and they were exhausted because they had been travelling since midnight," he said. "They wanted to sleep … as soon as they made it to the other side of the road, Joshua fell on the floor and slept in a tent." Bukunmi tried to keep in touch with his wife and help her plan the journey over the phone.

"So that was something traumatic for me to experience, knowing that I wasn't around," he said. Maria travelled through Romania and Turkey before she was reunited with Bukunmi in Frankfurt, Germany, on April 25.

"Immediately, when I saw them in Frankfurt, I knew we were together and everything will be OK when we get to Canada," Oluwamogbiele said. After they received their travel visas, the family was faced with the challenge of finding a place to stay in Nova Scotia.

They knew they wanted to live in Halifax because Bukunmi works at sea, so Maria turned to a website that connects Ukrainians with Canadian hosts. She sent a message to a stranger. It was Vanessa Powell.

"We've been watching the horrors and the trauma that people were going through … and the fact that the Canadian government was saying that they were going to offer safe haven to Ukrainian families," Powell said. "We decided that we've got a couple of spare rooms and we could help out. It was probably the least we could do."
