Where is Mila Kunis from?

ACTORS Mila Kunis and her husband Ashton Kutcher pledged to match $3million in donations to support Ukraine through a GoFundMe page.

The couple announced on March 3 that people could begin donating to the cause to make a difference in Ukrainian lives.

Where is Mila Kunis from?

At only 14 years old, Mila Kunis became a household name for her role as Jackie Burkhart on That 70s Show. Since the show’s premiere in 1998, Kunis has starred in popular films including Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Ted, and Bad Moms.

While her success has taken off, Kunis hasn’t forgotten her humble beginnings.

Kunis was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine during the Soviet Union in 1983. During that time there was a rising level of antisemitism in the country, and as a Jewish family, her parents took the little they had and left for the US.

“My parents went through hell and back. They came to America with suitcases and a family of seven and $250, and that’s it,” Kunis told Glamour in 2016.

She said aside from her parents, herself, and her brother, her grandparents traveled to the US to make a better life for themselves.

Her parents worked arduously to learn English and further their careers, and Kunis said her dad, Mark Kunis, worked about seven jobs to keep the family afloat.

“He painted a house. He would deliver toilets. He drove a cab, delivered pizzas. Whatever he could do, he did,” Kunis said.

Her mom, Elvira Kunis, worked as a box lady at Thrifty in Culver City, California. She retained the position until she learned English and worked her way up to eventually become the manager of a Rite-Aid while her dad owned cabs.

“But growing up poor, I never missed out on anything,” she said. “My parents did a beautiful job of not making me feel like I was lesser than any other kids.”

What has Mila Kunis said about the war in Ukraine?

Kunis sat down with her husband and former That 70s co-star Ashton Kucher to pledge their help to the people of Ukraine.

“The events that have unfolded in Ukraine are devastating; there is no place in this world for this unjustified attack on humanity,” Kunis said in a video posted to YouTube on March 3.

She praised the strength and resilience the Ukrainian people have shown since Russia invaded their country on February 21.

Kunis and Kutcher announced they set up a GoFundMe page to provide humanitarian aid and relief to the people who stayed to fight and the millions who have fled to neighboring countries.

“While we are witnessing the bravery of Ukrainians, we are also bearing witness to the unimaginable burden of those who have chosen safety,” Kutcher said in the video.

“Countless amounts of people have left everything they know and love behind to seek refuge. With nothing but what they could carry, these Ukrainian refugees are in need of housing and supplies right away.”

The couple said they will match up to $3million in donations and their goal is to reach $30million to donate to Ukrainians in need.

How can I donate to their GoFundMe?

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher set up the GoFundMe labeled Stand with Ukraine on March 3 and within 24 hours the page received more than $3.7million in donations.

The donations will go to Flexport and Airbnb, “two organizations who are actively on the ground providing immediate help to those who need it most,” the page says.

Shipments of relief supplies are being sent by Flexport to refugee sites in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Moldova. Airbnb is providing free, short-term housing to those who have fled Ukraine.
