Hello, My name is Yuliia, I am 48 years old. Before the war, my daughter and I lived in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region. We had a normal, peaceful life — I worked as an accountant, and my daughter attended school. We loved our home and made plans for the future, never imagining everything could change so suddenly.
When the war started, we initially stayed in Ukraine, hoping it would end soon. But over time, the situation became too dangerous, especially for my daughter. We decided to go to Israel, where my sister kindly took us in. We lived there for almost a year, but then the war began there as well, and it became unsafe to stay.
We returned to Ukraine and tried to go back to our hometown, but living there was too risky. When the evacuation of children started, we moved to Kharkiv. We currently live in a small one-room apartment. Unfortunately, Kharkiv is also regularly under threat of shelling, and I worry a lot about my daughter.
She has been studying online for three years. She misses live school, friends, and a normal teenage life. I see how difficult it is for her to live like this and how much she longs for stability, friends, and simple everyday joys.
That’s why we are looking for a sponsor in Scotland through the Homes for Ukraine program. We have already applied officially and have been searching for months — through Facebook, organizations, and other resources — but have not found anyone yet. We are open to moving anywhere in Scotland.
For me, it is also a chance to start learning English, adapt to a new culture, and hopefully find a job over time.
We are a calm, tidy family. We value cleanliness and respect other people’s space. We are always ready to help around the house and will do our best not to cause any inconvenience. We would be very grateful for the opportunity to live in peace and safety and will try to move into our own home as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or advice, please feel free to contact us by email at julialazytkina000@gmail.com. I will be happy to answer.
Thank you for reading.
Kind regards,
Yuliia

  1. I live in a very small town in very rural Ireland. We had a large amount of Ukrainians settle in the town, in a closed nursing home.
    Ever since they arrived, they’ve done nothing but try to integrate with their community, get support and educate their kids, find what work they can, and look after themselves and each other. To the extent that when the government tried turning the nursing home into a refugee centre, the local community said fuck that, we want to keep the Ukrainians. And won.

    Obviously there are cunts everywhere, Ukraine included, but you could do an awful lot worse than help out this crowd. They’re good people needing a dig out.

  3. Afraid my living circumstances wouldn’t suit just now, but I just wanted to say that I hope you’re able to find something!

  4. I’ve got a flat that is empty right now, DM me and we’ll see if it suits you right now

  6. Contact the council, I believe they have schemes with different housing associations

  7. I hope you find safe lodging soon! Wishing you both good luck and good health

  8. Meanwhile I can’t get a house in my own country. . .

  9. Good luck you two. I hope you find somewhere safe and sound for you to live. Stay safe!

  13. Is there a missing post or something? I just see the image

  14. My father is president of the local British Legion in Ayrshire, he would be able to help! I am sure! DM me if you need to!

  16. What sort of place would you be looking for? I imagine there’s a big difference even between a small town here and Ukraine. Where I live for example, there’s almost nothing going on, but it is extremely peaceful. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, feel free to DM me as I have 5 bed house and we’re just a couple.

  18. This reads like as if it was written by AI. It probably was, as your English appears perfect for someone wanting to learn English. I think it would be fair to mention this in the post, or provide some other form of proof to make sure this is not a scam.

  19. “We decided to go steal someone else’s land..” that’s a correction for you and your “kind thief” sister. LongLivePalestine. Ps: you deserve losing your home.
