Triplets double refugee family |,

CZESLAW Krys escaped the political turmoil of

Poland only to run headlong into the family tur-

moil of triplets.

The 31-year-old Polish
refugee bundled up his wife
Graznya and his one-year-
old son Mark and fled War-
saw early in 1984 because of
what he described as the
bleak economic and political
circumstances currently
besetting his native country.

After waiting six-months
in Rome to get immigration
clearance into Canada, the
Krys family arrived in Van-
couver in December. They
settled originally in Van-

West End, but

couver’s
moved to North Vancouver
two months ago.

For the Krys family, their
flight to the West has been
booby-trapped with sur-
prises, the biggest of which

arrived August 8 when
Graznya gave birth to
triplets in Vancouver's Grace
Hospital.

‘Not just a surprise,’

Krys said, ‘‘but the biggest
surprise of our lives.”’

Though Krys is qualified
as a physiotherapist in
Poland, he cannot ply his
trade in B.C. until he writes
and passes Physiotherapy
Association of B.C. exams.
He has therefore been
unable to find steady work
since his arrival.

The three-member Krys
family has survived thus far
on a minimal monthly
allowance from the Im-
migrant Reception Centre
and the good graces and
generosity of Polish relatives
and friends. Both charities

are welcome, yet difficult for
the hard-working and self-
sufficient Krys to accept.
With his family literally
doubling overnight, Krys,
though giddy with joy, now
stands evermore squarely
behind the financial eight-
ball. He shrugs off his situa-
tion with a smile saying he is
lucky, saying he is blessed.
“We have a new country.
We have a beautiful family,
which is suddenly much big-
ger. How can we be unhap-
yo"?
Krys is scheduled to write
his physiotherapy exams on
November 15.
