Hi,
In just four weeks, a quarter of Ukraine’s whole population has been displaced. Almost 4 million people fled the war and searched for safety in different European countries. [1] Alongside the horror, there are stories of hope and humanity, as people like us are stepping up to help refugees.
You’ve probably seen the picture that shows a line of baby strollers left at the train station in Poland, awaiting Ukrainian mothers that might need them. [2] Or you may have read the story of two neighbours from Spain who drove over 6000 km to evacuate refugees from Ukraine. [3]
In such difficult times it’s stories like these, of hope and humanity, that show us change is possible.
And we know that among our amazing community there are many of us supporting people on the move in various ways. That’s why we’d like to hear your story!
If you or your close ones have hosted or helped people fleeing war, and are willing to share your story with us, let us know:
|
The WeMove Europe staff will be looking through the stories on Monday. If you’ve given us your consent, we will be sharing your story with the community and beyond, sowing seeds of hope and inspiration.
Can’t wait to read your story,
Aleksandra (Warsaw) and the whole WeMove Europe team
PS: Know someone who has been helping people on the move and who may want to share their story? Forward them this email!
