Lily, her daughter Yana and her granddaughter Marta had never left their hometown of Cherkasy, let alone Ukraine. When the Russian invasion forced them to seek refuge in Poland, they were unable to find suitable housing for a full month. Just when they were about to give up, someone connected them with volunteers from Habitat for Humanity Poland. “They took us to an apartment — just for us. I was in shock,” says Yana. “We were so desperate; we would have been glad to share a bed between the three of us. But the volunteers made us so happy. They brought us pots and pans, dishes, blankets, and personal hygiene products. They even brought me a new mattress.” While the family hopes to one day return to Ukraine, for now they feel safe and supported thanks to Habitat for Humanity Poland, which has helped more than 1,000 people who fled Ukraine find a place to live in Poland.
