Terrible events have taken place in our neighbouring country, Ukraine in recent weeks. A great many innocent souls are being forced to leave their homes and homeland with their families. We are working hard to ensure that those who can escape receive help in Hungary and most importantly, are safe. In light of the tragedies, it is good to see how we all work together in support of our fellow human beings and with how much love and dedication everyone is giving on this difficult journey.
We have been welcoming Ukrainian families at the Lónya border. They traveled for 3 days, fighting for the train ticket for days to get out of Kiev. We helped them along the way, co-ordinating which border to come to, from that point we provided transport by car and took them to Budapest and Lake Balaton, where we are providing them with accommodation. When they sat in the car they started sobbing, not wanting to believe they were safe and it was the END of their escape. They are safe today.
We are grateful to have the opportunity to help, and we are grateful for what we have experienced in Lónya. The volunteers are extremely nice and friendly people and the families received fantastic care in the few hours they had to wait.
