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 an associate 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). P.S.: if you have any questions​​,​​ please ask.
