Angela
Grabovsky
Fighting for the
American Dream
“We came to America not knowing what to expect…”
Angela immigrated from the Russian controlled area of Ukraine when she was 23. For years, her and her family lived in fear of government propaganda and censorship. They had confiscated their birth certificates and marriage licenses. She had to smuggle her diploma out of the country and made her way to Indiana.
“When we arrived, we wanted to work for our living…”
Angela and her family had a choice of applying for government assistance, but after living under communist regime, they decided they would rather work than take any handouts from the state. She learned English by practicing and studying every day. That dedication to hard work transformed her life and Angela became a nurse, a business owner and an advocate for America.
“I am extremely grateful to our amazing Hoosiers…”
