Since last week, a terrible humanitarian crisis has taken hold of Ukraine with almost 1 million Ukrainians fleeing their country to seek refuge and support in neighboring countries like Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Rumania and Germany.

How to help as an individual?
At the moment any help is welcome! If you happen to live near the Ukraine border or a place where refugees are arriving, there are many ways to contribute. Contact your local support associations or local council to find out how to donate money, clothing, medicine, hygiene products, food, or other items to those either arriving by train or to be sent to the border.
Solidarity with Ukraine grows day by day. We all could offer make a difference with small contributions.

It is a one bedroom, 1 bath, with full kitchen, living room and dining area, and potential for converting 2 large closets into sleeping space. It has beautiful views, lots of outdoor space to enjoy.

March 5, 2022 at 22:37 -I live in the USA. I don’t know how we are handling refugee’s here but I have a home with 4 extra bedrooms that are available. They are on the 2nd floor and there are 2 bathrooms up there too. There will be no charge for the rooms and I’ll buy the food. I will need at least one English speaking person so I can help get what they need. I have two dogs that are small but very energetic and friendly. Lots of space for resting and being safe.
