Hundreds of Ukrainians have found their way into California through the San Ysidro Port of Entry after traveling thousands of miles away from their war-torn country.
Some of them finally get a good night’s sleep in the comfort of a stranger’s home in Chula Vista. That includes five members of the Slonovska family who arrived in the South Bay city Thursday.

They’re headed to stay with Olga’s sister-in-law who lives in Colorado.Stay informed about local news and weather. Get the NBC 7 San Diego app for
