Yesterday a family from the town of Kharkiv arrived. They only had 20 minutes to leave their home town as a shell hit their courtyard. They have spent a long time travelling through Ukraine and Romania but at least now they can rest and we can get them what they need.
The family (of three generations) are spending their second night in our Day Care Centre, having travelled for almost 2 weeks to escape their home city of Kharkiv. The LJH team have been amazing in the care and support they have given the family, and they are truly grateful for the help. We wish them a settled stay at LJH and we will do our best to ensure they are comfortable, warm and well looked after.
After a few comfortable and enjoyable days in Sibiu, our Ukrainian family left today and successfully headed to Germany. We wish the family every happiness on the next part of their journey.
The team at LJH have worked around the clock to get the Day Centre ready for all of the familes we homed. Pictures below.
Thank you to all of our wonderful supporters for their amazing donations.

Last week we heard of a family that were stuck in Sibiu without food, money or medicines that they needed. They had previously been staying in the refugee camp just inside Romania. They were trying to get to Germany in their old Lada. They literally had £1 left. Their older son has stayed in the Ukrainian army. We will be supporting this family, along with other families currently living in student accommodation in Sibiu. We will support them with medical appointments, medicines, etc. – they a have a lot of children and a pregnant lady there.

We were able to help 9 women and 20 children who are staying at the local student accommodation – they have needed clothes as they left with just a suitcase, thinking that they would be able to go back home soon – medicines, medical appointments and a bit of normality! They also now have a set of children’s books each which have been produced in Romania especially for the refugee children.
