A bighearted Ayrshire gran, who is ready with open arms to house a Ukrainian family fleeing their war-torn country, has been left devastated as the Home Office continues to deny a teenage refugee a Visa.
Liz Guidi has been cleared by North Ayrshire Council to house Ukrainian refugees Tatyana Popova - who was a teacher - and her 14-year-old granddaughter Nicole Popova both are currently living in Poland after having fled invading Russian forces in February.
But the driving instructor from Irvine sits alone in her spare bedroom waiting on the pair as the UK Government continues to deny teenage Nicole's Visa. Nicole's mum, Anna, remained in Ukraine when the war began and there has been no contact with her for a month.
