Hello, I'm Serhii T.

We, a large family from Kyiv, are looking for a place to live here in Austria. The family consists of eight people (two parents and six children) as well as a daughter-in-law who is pregnant at eight months. Currently, we require a place to live for 7 people, since the two older sons remain in Ukraine. One of them is taking care of his wife's father, a first-group invalid (on dialysis for 22 years), and the other is in the army. I (the father) and the third son came to Austria on 28.11.2022 in order to search for a place to live for our family, since living in the Ukraine is getting harder and harder each day due to electrical blackouts, constant bombing etc.We already registered in Vienna as war refugees and my son is applying here for studying in Austria, since also studying back in the Ukraine is nearly impossible currently. I (the father) came to prepare a place to live, as I did not dare to take my younger daughters and pregnant sister-in-law, who is about to give birth soon, into the unknown. I am writing to you to ask if you could help us find a place to live. We have not left Kyiv for 9 months after the start of war, but now it has become impossible to live with the absence of light, electricity, heat and even water. Also, we have no idea what to do when the baby is born.
