The family from Ternopil took in 30 Ukrainians, forced to move from other regions due to active hostilities
Svitlana and Volodymyr from Ternopil are musicians and owners of a frame and embroidery workshop. From the first days of the war, they began to host immigrants from the hot spots of Kharkiv, Bucha, Irpin, Kyiv and other cities.
Svitlana and Volodymyr now have 30 people living with them. Seven of them are "double" displaced persons. These are people who left occupied Donbass after the events of 2014, and now have been forced to leave their homes for the second time to escape Russian aggression.
During the month of the war, Svitlana and Volodymyr's house became a shelter not only for 118 people, but also for a whole pack of pets 🐈🐕
According to the landlady, the house has already formed a kind of commune. Someone cooks, someone cleans, and someone plays with the children (there are nine of them in the house).
Some of the displaced people have even found jobs in Ternopil. For example, Olena has already been helped to get a job as a hairdresser.
After the victory, Svitlana and Volodymyr plan to take the orphans home.
"We know from the news how many people are dying now — in Mariupol, other cities, also the military. My mother became an orphan after World War II. And I wouldn't want such a fate for anyone, so if I can, I'll take as many of those kids", — spouses say.
