Jenni Chapple has five new sets of girls’ size-4 clothing, a child’s dressing gown and puffer jacket hanging in her closet. These are not for her own granddaughter, but a three-year-old girl she has never met, who is arriving from Kharkiv in Ukraine.

Three-year-old Daneliia, along with her parents Vlodymyr and Julia, is the second Ukrainian refugee family Jenni and her husband, Mark Chapple, are helping settle in Quirindi on the north-west slopes of New South Wales.
