On 25 March 2022, a convoy of 3 x 9-seater vans reserved for Ukrainian refugees left for the Poland/Ukraine border at Medyka. A total of 18 places were available for refugees who had just crossed the border and wanted to come to France. So as not to leave empty-handed, we contacted the Action Santé Femmes association, which needed to send equipment as well as a gynaecologist and a midwife to set up a medical and gynaecological post at the Przemysl refugee centre (Tesco).

On 31 March 2022, exhausted both physically and psychologically, 18 Ukrainian refugees arrived in France, where they were warmly welcomed after a long 1,800km journey by their host families and the Deputy Mayor of the town of Haisnes, Sébastien Decarpentry. Each family received €300 thanks to a collection of donations organised by Pierre Yves Bailly, the entrepreneur who initiated the convoy. A payment of €10,000 was also made to the Haisnes town council to complete the adaptation of the renovated social housing. The PSF association received a donation of €1,000, all of which was used to organise another convoy. After 6 months, 16 people are still living in the commune and 2 have returned to Ukraine, thanks to the solidarity of the families helping them to settle in gradually.
