A Leeds couple have taken in two families from Ukraine who messaged them for help from a bomb shelter.
Ashley and Sara Peatfield who live in Morley began having conversations considering housing a refugee when the Russia Ukraine war began. At the end of April Ashley saw a post on Facebook of a mother and daughter from Ukraine asking for help to leave their war-struck home.
"Within an hour and a half we were chatting over Whatsapp as the mum was sat in a bomb shelter", he said. The refugee told Ashley about her friend who is also a mother and needed a home too, and within three weeks both families had moved to Leeds.
