Since then, the city has been bombed by Russian troops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zinchenko\u2019s aunt and several close friends remain in Kharkiv despite recommendations to leave the city. They are hiding in bomb shelters but have made a concerted effort to remain together to share resources and information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help, Zinchenko created a campaign that has raised $12,000. With the money, he hopes to help Ukrainian families relocate and assist with food and shelter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natalya Lapunova, a student at Medical Campus, is also from Kharkiv.
