Lets help Ukrainians but HOW??
Hello
There was not a catagory for me to post what I wnt to say so maybe someone looking in the missing persons category will see this and advise me where I should have posted it!!!
We all feel devastated, frightened and want to help the Ukrainians as far as I have ascertained.
But what can we do?
Apart from sending money or clothes or helping some charity I would so love to do something more. I think many people feel this way. This morning I heard on English radio (yes I know Im a biot sad still listening to my old radio station from back in good old Dorset!) that people are offering their homes to refugees from Ukraine. Well, we could do that here. Most of us ex pats are incredibly lucky and have a bit of space to spare. The UK authorities are asking anybody who offers this to do so for a minimum of 6 months. We could do this here. Couldn't we? I am not sure about the legalities of offering refugees to come to a country where I do not really belong! We have full Residencia but can anybody help or advise me as to the legality and possibility of doing this. And how. AND who else out there would be prepared to do this? I cannot be the only person moved to tears for these poor poor people. And, if the dice had rolled differently, it could have been you. Or me.......
Thank you for reading.
