Did we do enough , or should we be ashamed? #UKRAINE

Should we be ashamed ?🇺🇦

This is a thoughtfuldailypost and I hope we all try to do something to help our fellow earthlings…..

The fact that what is possible in our world is so sad but brutal reality! Already more than three months, and exactly 100 days since we met president Zelenski , and our neighbour country Ukraine is in a state of war. And we were near a brutal war in Europe and attached countries. For me personally, war was a thing that came near for the first time in my life. Normally its only on the news, sad aswell but more far from our doorstep. We are not used to it, and the fact that one sick human mind desires to own a part of another country,
with killing people along the way made me sick to my stomach.

This freewrite came to paper ( read computer screen ) because I feel that some things are worth talking about. I saw on the news that there are problems all over the country, getting all refugees settled and all problems partly solved. I say partly because when you ask for instance the Ukrainians what they want for the future, not a single one of them wants to stay. That’s great and I love that. All want to go back to their beloved, but shattered country. Back to their love ones, to the houses they had to leave behind and their precious possessions. I love that patriotism, I know that they love all the people that want to help but hart is where home was. I get that. I get that!

Voluntary leaving a place called home is very different than running from the enemy. I read a blog by @beretha and how her life is there far away in Charkiv with her dogs, and is being missed by her and my friend Priyanarc.

The fact that we all want to help, but that some things are just hard to arrange is frustrating.
I solely want to talk about the situation here in Holland because I heard that in Germany the situation is different. My knowledge about other countries is zero. I hope so , but I just cannot imagine. I hope @manniman and his gesture in the comments on a blog by my friend are true. Than again would you flee to country three after you left your home in Charkiv? I am torn between so many opinions, not about that horrible man from Russia , but I am torn about what is good to do and whats not. The fact that we also have other nationalities here who had to flee their country makes that the Netherlands at the moment have about 35.000
People come from Ukraine, but the Netherlands have about 422.000 refugees inside our borders.

That is nice, but are we able to give all the people as much attention, houses and care they need?
And when we do , is it enough for them or are the expectations to high?
Is it fair that degrees in other countries can’t be used here?
Is helping out enough for both parties?
I think we will never know all the answers and personally I do all by hart. The fact that I see that the Hivers I helped are getting help from others now, even a woman’s who is a volunteer and a therapist so thats great. Better because she is near. You hivers all vote and send hive, we all can make the difference. The fact that I get DM’s what to get the needy is also great. And eventhough people who have a refugee status, love the fact that help is there.
So I guess I must be proud of what I can do , off what others do and what the dutchies in general did three months ago ,
and the government is still doing. There are still things that should change. The national refugee fund, with a historic and genourius amount given by most all the dutchies is over 208 million euro.
Yet there is so much still in the account instead of spend. We need so many things, housing is most m]needed. I also think there might be some money wasted on wages for people in organisations that promised to support but thats always the case I hear. I don’t like that.

I love the Red Cross, the food banks , the vluchtelingen work and the counties and dutchies pulling together.

I just heard that both @priyanarc and @blind-spot have a contract and both started a job. Thats great ! I am glad that I maybe added a little comfort and help to the people that need it more than ever.
The fact that a new job
and a new place
are on the horizon,
is
PERFECT !

We will see what is in the future, I hope the war is ended soon,
Than the help can be spend more building a great and beautiful country !
