PARMA, Ohio — A family who was displaced from Ukraine and arrived in Parma are receiving a special gift Thursday.

The Good Knights of Lorain County are giving the Khamuliak family beds for two children, Karina and Artur, to help ease their transition to living in Northeast Ohio.

Good Knights is non-profit organization that is dedicated to ensuring that local children have beds to sleep in. The organization’s goal is to make sure that every child in Lorain County has a safe and comfortable bed to go to sleep in every night.

The organization was founded in the fall of 2020 by Roger Dorsey.
