Our guests from Ukraine have arrived so why am I crying.

[Yoohoo778611]

I don't know how to tag my last thread. Having people from Ukraine staying.
Ours guests arrived yesterday afternoon. 2 mums (sisters) with a toddler each.

The reason I'm crying is this afternoon a delivery was made by someone in our area
of a toddler sized slide and a swing. Some gift cards and letters were posted through our letter box
welcoming them to our town.
All anonymous. I think it might be people from our street(it's quite a long one) so can't narrow it down.

Lovely to read on a cold Sunday afternoon in the USA. So kind. Peace and love to all of you! ❤

Similar has happened near me. One host got given a free steam clean of the room her refugees will be in. Plus free furniture which Dh has offered to assemble!

Someone else is hosting toddlers. They’ve been given new toys, clothes, and bedding.

It seems there are so many lovely people in this world. I don’t understand wars, when the majority of the world seem kind and caring,

Nice one OP. Your kindness will mean the world to them x

Aw bless , are your guests from Ukraine comforting you?

@Yoohoo778611
You and your DH are 'Earth Angels"
It brings a tear to my eye that the families feel so safe in your home that they are able to let down their guard and happily be outside without fear. The t.v. reports from their country are devastating. The people can't relax for one minute without fear of being in harms way.

I would imagine your own family will be as blessed with their presence as they will be by being in your home.

Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone to open your arms and lives to host them.

You are changing the course of history by what you've done...who knows where your kindness will lead. You are imprinting on those precious children that the World can be a happy place and that people can be good.

That's beautiful

That is so lovely 😊

I thought about the lovely toddler on the slide and swing and it’s made me cry too!

Lovely. I hope your guests get good news about their husbands.

We are still waiting for our guests, visa delays.

People have donated money, clothes, a bike and one of the GP’s I work with made ribbons to sell. It’s been very heartwarming in amongst all the rubbish stuff going on.

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️best thread ever.

Absolutely wonderful 🥰.

It's not easy for them. Thanks OP for what you're doing.

You're amazing. What a wonderful thread. I'm so glad these people have been fortunate enough to have you as host. Brilliant neighbours too! I hope the mums and toddlers settle in well

We now lovey of you and your town to welcome them here.

I would love to hear more about how they settle in. If it's not too intrusive!

They must be very apprehensive about the future but sounds like they have landed lucky with you.

Two children playing safely in the garden with their mums is something we take for granted everyday, a stark contrast to what they would have witnessed if they had remained in Ukraine.
What a beautiful thing you have done op, there is good left in the world

Blub! Sniff! That’s a lovely thing you’re doing OP ❤️

Gosh this is lovely. And set me off too.

@Yoohoo778611 you don’t say if toddlers are girls or boys? If girls and need anything clothes-wise, message me - I’ve had a massive sort out and have loads of nearly new (and some new) stuff I’ll happily post across.

Oh wow yoohoo, thank you for what you are doing and for sharing - we need more news like this.

I can’t remember where it comes from (maybe a film) but I always remember the quote”when a situation seems so bad, always look for the people who are helping, there are always people helping” xxx

I have a playhouse I'm trying to find a home for if anyone's in West Norfolk.

That’s so, so lovely! Hope they settle in ok with you! 💞

I like this!

I have something in my eye.

Plopping tears here too, that's just so kind and wonderful! Wishing you and your guests all the very best xxxx

How lovely to read. I have tears too. These poor, poor people. Wonderful that you have been able to help. Wish I could do more other than contribute to a relevant charity (lumos for children)
