A mum-of-four who welcomed a family of Ukrainian refugees into her home two weeks ago has described it as a “whirlwind” experience.
Nicole Ross opened her home in Prenton to mum Mila and her children Nazar, 12, and Tonya, 9, who fled their home in Kyiv. She was horrified when she saw the war in Ukraine break out on the news and, when the government launched the ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme, she realised she could do something tangible and immediate to help.
Nicole, who is originally from Seattle, has three children living at home and realised Mila’s family were of similar ages. She contacted Mila on Facebook and, after around a month of administrative delays, the family finally arrived at Liverpool airport on April 23.
