In Ukraine, Irina worked day and night to build a successful business.

She was so happy to have enough money to buy an apartment, her sleepless nights and hours of hard work were starting to pay off.

But, in only 24 hours, her life was changed. She was given less than 2 hours to pack her things, leaving her business, her apartment, and everything behind. Becoming a 'refugee' with no financial independence, not speaking the language, depending on complete strangers to support her and her son.

Only a few weeks ago, Marina was sitting in her apartment in Kyiv looking at her newborn son, filled with joy. She had a loving husband by her side, her children were happy and safe,.

One week later, Marina was sitting alone on a bus with a bunch of strangers, with her 3 months old son strapped to her chest and her daughter by her side. They were escaping the war. Her husband had to stay behind.

Now Marina is living in a foreign country where she does not speak the language. She has no financial means to support herself or her children. Every day she is praying for the war to end.

Olga was looking forward to this summer. Her husband and two sons - 10 and 18 years old - were planning their vacation in Spain

But she has to be strong for her 10 year old boy. She wants to find work to provide her son with a sense of stability and security
