EVERETT — Liliya Dorosh decided she had to do something to help people suffering from Ukraine’s civil war after her former pastor visited from Donetsk this fall. The realization didn’t come immediately. It sunk in perhaps a month later, over the holidays, as the Snohomish woman reflected on the life she had made for her family since coming to the United States as a refugee in the 1990s. “I sit with my kids at the table and I feel so bad that people are hungry,” she said. That led to Give Some, Feed

Some, a fundraising campaign organized mostly through the local Russian- and Ukrainianspeaking community, often through churches. Their goal is to raise $10,000 in Snohomish County this spring. With that money they hope to feed up to 1,500 people daily in the conflict zone in east Ukraine. Earlier this month, Dorosh visited Sulamita Slavic Church in Mukilteo where they took up an offering. “They’re stretching every dollar,” she said. “It’s just basic bread and grain.” The fundraising effort includes used-car donations. That idea came about through Dorosh’s family business,

Dorosh grew up in Donetsk, a regional capital on the Ukrainian steppe near the border with Russia. Among the region’s most famous sons is Sergei Prokofiev, the 20th century classical composer who wrote the children’s ballet “Peter and the Wolf” in 1936. As evangelical Christians, Dorosh’s family was subjected to religious persecution in Ukraine — first at the hands of Soviet authorities. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, her family was stigmatized as outsiders from the dominant Orthodox Church. The United States granted them refugee See UKRAINE, Page A10

MARYSVILLE — Dennis Kendall, who was mayor of Marysville for six and a half years, died Monday. He was 72. Kendall was elected mayor in 2003 and served until 2010, when he resigned and retired. He had had a previous career in the photo finishing business, retiring in 2002 as vice president for Crown Photo SysDennis tems in Marysville, Kendall which has since closed. He had been in the United States Junior Chamber (the “Jaycees”) when he was in his 30s, said his wife, Susan Kendall, and after his retirement was looking to get more involved politically. “He just felt it,” Kendall said. “The city should be run like a business.” There was a mayoral election in 2003, so he ran and won, taking office in December. It was the first time he had run for public office, she said. “Dennis was a great mayor. He was transformational in many ways in taking the mayor’s office out regionally and enhancing the profile of Marysville,” said Jon Nehring, who replaced Kendall in the mayor’s office.
