Seeking a sponsor​/​friend for the U4U program

About this listing

Hi My name is Andrey​,​ and I am 33 years old. I come from a vibrant city​,​ Dnipro​,​ which is unfortunately close to the frontline of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The war​,​ initiated by Russia​,​ has made living conditions increasingly dangerous​,​ and the situation in my city is becoming more perilous each day as the frontlines move closer. I am not a soldier​,​ which is why I am not directly involved in the fighting. However​,​ I support our army through donations. Unfortunately​,​ in Ukraine​,​ men are often conscripted without proper training​,​ which drastically reduces their chances of survival on the battlefield. That is why I am not ready to fight just to die on the first day. Instead​,​ I want to start a new life in a safe place​,​ in a beautiful country like the United States. I have a degree in IT sciences. I enjoy football​,​ basketball​,​ hiking​,​ and biking. Professionally​,​ I have worked in IT. I started as a system administrator and later became a junior DevOps engineer. My work involved using AWS (basic services)​,​ some GCP​,​ and some Azure​,​ but mainly I worked with our own Linux servers. My responsibilities included monitoring with Zabbix (deploying new Zabbix servers​,​ configuring Zabbix agents using Ansible playbooks that I wrote)​,​ closing newly discovered vulnerabilities on servers​,​ and delivering the company's product to new and existing clients. You can find more details about my experience on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sviridaandrey I have a basic level of English (I can understand most things at a basic level​,​ but speaking is still challenging). Therefore​,​ I plan to improve my language skills in the near future to communicate more easily with people. I am hoping to find someone who can help me and become my sponsor through the U4U program. I would appreciate the following support from my sponsor: - Assistance with paperwork and obtaining medical insurance. - Temporary housing so that I can adapt​,​ find a job​,​ and search for an apartment to rent. It would also be great to get help with the search and rental process. - Guidance on American culture and traditions. - Help in becoming part of the local community. - Assistance in obtaining a driver's license (Unfortunately​,​ I do not drive yet​,​ but I understand that in the U.S. it is essential​,​ so I need to learn and get my license). Thank you in advance for helping me find a home in the U.S. and becoming my new friend! If you have any questions​,​ please feel free to ask​,​ and I will be happy to answer them. We can also arrange a video call (I will try to speak with my limited English skills).
