Iryna Maskaliova and her husband arrived in Mt. Lebanon from Belarus last year with a green card, the promise of a job, a suitcase of clothes and a laptop computer. The couple, both 29, were eating and sleeping on the floor, using candles for light, when Off the Floor Pittsburgh learned about them.
Volunteers from a church carried a bed, chairs, tables, bedding, pots, pans and lamps to their sixth-floor apartment. "When I saw the truck, I thought it was for 10 families. I couldn't believe it was all for us," Ms. Maskaliova said, sitting on one of the vintage recliners that was part of the mismatched but practical delivery.
"We felt that we finally had a home," she said.
