Hi, my name is Viktoriia, I am a 52 year old retired woman recovering from ill health. One month ago, I had to flee my home in the Ukraine because of the war. This happened so quickly that I was only able to leave the Ukraine with a small suitcase containing essential clothing only.

I first found my way to Gdansk, Poland before I was able to find passage to France, where I waited 3 weeks to obtain a standard visa for the UK. I am now safe in the UK, but I have lost my home, my clothes, my possessions in the Ukraine, and I don't know if I will ever be able to return, or if I have anything left in the Ukraine to return too.

I need your help to find a new life in the UK and replace the possessions that I have lost in the Ukraine. I would be grateful for any contributions that can help me achieve my relocation. Thank you
