Campaigners placing Ukrainian refugees with Bristol families say they get around twenty requests for help each day, but that no potential hosts have come forward for over a month. As a result, one dedicated organiser says “hundreds” of people – mainly women and children – are seeking homes here without success.
Vera Stadon Postavska has lived in England since 1997 and in Bristol since 2002. She co-founded the Facebook page Sunflower Sisters - Ukraine/UK, which assists mainly women and families fleeing to Britain from war-torn Ukraine.
Vera says she gets around twenty contacts from frightened families in Ukraine each day, but can do little to help as offers to host them have dried up. “There are hundreds of people I would like to place here,” she said.
