We have two spare cabins prefect for a small family with pets.
Out in the country.
Our neighbors would help out with food.
Seeing people with kids and pets is really getting to me.
Europe can only take in so many people.

They can't arrive in US by foot, train, bus or car. US is not going to let them in without visas either.

How safe will Europe be.
Wave the visas.
I think other countries are.

Just something to think about.

(34,109 posts)I had not thought about that much. I doubt we could but if we could I would surely think about it. I cannot imagine they would want to come here but still, you are really kind to think about this.
I have a small apartment attached to my horse barn. It is actually quite nice, I lived in it for over a year while the house was built. It could handle a couple of people and it would feel so nice to have someone who needed it use it.
Like I said, I cannot imagine them coming here or being allowed to but it is enough to make some of us start the process of having a place for others. I think we will be increasingly needing something like this with climate change.

(2,962 posts)We are way out in the country.
No job opportunities.
No public transportation.
The people didn't stay long.

(4,170 posts)They need jobs, schools, transportation, right?

A place for kids and pets.
To destress a little.

Theres also a small Ukrainian community in the area here so that might be helpful too.

My Grandparents have been gone for a long time.
