Ukrainian family thought they were being scammed as welcome was 'too good to be true'

A Ukrainian mum-of-six who was in desperate need of a place to stay thought she was being scammed when she walked into her bungalow home in the UK.

Liliya Onopa and her family were given a huge helping hand by their new school community who beautifully furnished and decorated the home, much to the mum's disbelief. “There are even scissors for manicures,” Liliya revealed this week, sitting on the sofa in her new lounge after taking her three youngest children to St Mary’s RC Primary School, where she tells us they are settling in well.

Her new home is less than a stone’s throw from the school in Chepstow, according to WalesOnline. In fact, the community have worked tirelessly to ensure the house met the standards required to house Liliya and her boys.“There were even slippers for us all.

It’s those little things,” she went on. “When we came here for the first night there was a hot meal for the children.”After what Liliya has been through in the space of a horrendous few months, little acts of kindness have gone a long way.
