RE: War Story - Humanitarian aid by Voedselbank for Ukrainians in Netherlands | Good and Bad News

in Life Stories2 years ago

Hello @zirochka, how are you doing? I hope your health is doing better than before, I was thinking about you.

I moved to NL 2 and a half weeks ago from Poland. It's a beautiful city indeed and a lot of help is available here, especially different organizations helping people a lot. Even many families are hosting Ukrainians as well though I haven't found that option for myself yet. Here I thought food banks would be developed but I won't complain because I haven't checked Amsterdam one and Almere is a very small city. At least we have got something for the whole month.

I've just recalled - there is a website where Ukrainians can get a a psych consult. for free. Sometimes all you need is an ear to hear. Just look at it - https://mindlyspace.com/

Thanks a lot, I was looking for a psychiatrist. My last one didn't help my mentality much and I was looking for one here. Definitely gonna check it out.

Is there any chance to find a job there?

For Ukrainians, they don't need a work permit to do a job here but I need it because my passport is not Ukrainian so my category and case are different. I am waiting to complete my registration process and after that, I can apply for the job.

Sort:  

I believe there are more free stuff for refugees from Ukraine as well. My work mate is in Austria now with his family. He said they are even going to visit Switzerland by train as tickets are free for them. Maybe you can find something too.

Job would be good for several reasons. First of all, it's money. Also, it is something that will make you focused on anything except war... And you will meet new people. It can help you to get out of the freeze and make your life spin up again.
Don't give up, dear.

Yes, the train tickets were free for everyone who have fleed from Ukraine but now only Ukrainian passport holders only get that help, I am not and I came to know about that when I was coming from Poland to the Netherlands.

Yes, something similar I have heard today from a volunteer too, she was dutch and she said that after registration, I should apply for a job. I am not thinking about the money too much but if I need to rent an apartment here in the Netherlands, I definitely need a job. Rules are changing and as I am not a Ukrainian passport holder, sometimes people see me differently... I have heard that here, jobs are available. I think it would be a good idea to get a job and get to know people and culture here...

I always think about you and I really hope the best for you... Huggss...

Hope you will get your new document or registration or whatever they need. Think of you every day too 💙💛
