Alexander contacted us on May 8th 2022. He was looking for a solution to evacuate his wife and child, who is in a wheelchair. Accompanied by another family composed of a parent and a young adult with Down syndrome, they were trying to leave Kyiv, the city in which they found refuge in order to escape the combat zones.<\/p>\n

After contacting the French association Arche, which welcomes people with mental disabilities in shared and independent accommodation, our priority was to guarantee a safe journey between Kyiv and Dijon.<\/p>\n

The evacuation was unexpectedly interrupted following the breakdown of the vehicle in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Our objective: to cover the costs of the repair amounting to \u20ac800 euros and to find emergency accommodation for the families.<\/p>\n

Once the vehicle was repaired, the two families were able to go to Dijon, where they found refuge in independent accommodation. The families still live in Dijon.<\/p>\n
