Starting Anew in Poland
As unique as every family is, so is their story of displacement. To help those that fled from Ukraine and into Poland get by as their story continues, Tzu Chi volunteers provided support with Sodexo cards.
These cards, loaded with funds to spend, allow displaced families to purchase their most pressing necessities as they figure out their next steps. Many of these families also receive visits from Tzu Chi volunteers to check in on their personal welfare.
One Ukrainian woman, Maryana Verbovska, said that “the first time we met them, you know, it was like a ray of light had entered the house… they’re like relatives whom we love very much.”
For many, it’s about much more than just monetary funds they’re receiving.
Nataliia Nesterova, another young mother tells us, “when we moved into our new apartment, we had absolutely nothing. Tzu Chi’s aid helped me clear my head of what to feed my baby tomorrow. With the help of these cards, we lived for 4 months. Because help from Tzu Chi is not only about money or cards; it’s about the soul, it’s about support.”
Keep watching.
