Maria has fled war in Ukraine together with her mother and daughter. Being forced to leave their home, they took all their life savings with them. They have found shelter in Gdańsk, but unfortunately someone broke into their apartment and robbed them. "We felt safe here, but when we went for a walk, someone broke in," Maria said.

The women escaped from Vinnytsia in early March. They took their life savings with them - money, family heirloom and jewellery. The three refugees have found shelter in Gdańsk district of Wrzeszcz. Unfortunately, around 8 p.m. on Wednesday (March 30), their flat was robbed.

"Fleeing Ukraine, we took our money with us to be able to make a living without having to ask for help. It was our only source of livelihood," Maria said. "We felt safe here, but when we went for a walk, someone broke in. We hope that this money will be recovered, otherwise we will be forced to return to our home in Ukraine," she added.

The women said that among other things the thiefs had taken was 10,000 dollars in cash.
