Nothing is Impossible

As soon as the war began on the territory of Ukraine, I began my volunteer activities, which consisted in creating a group on Facebook  Volya Ukraina Info and through this website, I began to help Ukrainians who decided to come to England under a sponsorship program. I found sponsors in England, connected them with Ukrainians and further, as needed, helped them in communication as an interpreter.

One of my first stories is Marichka, she asked for help in finding a sponsor for her as soon as the program was launched in England. I managed to find a family that was willing to accept her, but unfortunately, I was unable to contact Marichka back. Some time passed and my missing Marichka calls me, her voice was sad and disappointed. What she told me was shocking. The situation was as follows when a couple of weeks ago our connection was cut off, she found another sponsor who agreed to accept her, they jointly launched the process, and everything worked out very quickly and Marichka was able to quickly leave the dangerous territory of Ukraine and go to the territory of Poland while waiting for her plane to England. Yes, everything seemed to be already set up, but at one moment Marichka’s phone rang, and her sponsor asked for forgiveness, but he would not be able to accept her in England. In Marichka, at that moment, the world simply collapsed, she stood at a loss in a foreign country facing the fact that it was impossible to stay in Poland, because there was nowhere, and she could not leave for England, because there was no sponsor. A plane ticket has been bought and there are 5 days left before departure. I had no other way out after the shocking story; I had to gather my thoughts and act quickly. Through all my possible channels, I launched an action to help and find a new sponsor for Marichka. It seemed that it would be impossible, but all the same, there were fantastic people who accepted her, and she was able to leave Poland and come to England.

According to the last conversations with her, everything was fine, she was actively looking for work and felt very well in the sponsoring family. 💙💛
