Description
We would like to help refugees from the Ukraine coming to Victoria, British Columbia. Our house is not large, but we can find a space for you in our home and in our hearts. My husband is Ukrainian whose family fled from the Soviets after the war.
Ми хотіли б допомогти. Наш будинок невеликий, але ми можемо знайти місце для вас у нашому домі та в наших серцях. Мій чоловік українець і його родина після війни втекла від совєт.

Travellers will get to explore the island on the days off. While we both work shifts, when we have free time, we will take you on outings here and there to visit the lagoon, Thetis Lake, Fort Rodd Hill, Goldstream Park, etc. You will be part of our family for the time you are with us so we can discuss what you hope to learn.
Aide
We are looking for someone to lend a hand mostly in the yard, and maybe with a small building project. Just small odd jobs here and there.
We would be looking for a maximum of 4.5 hours a day with two days off per week or you can work more hours over the week so you can take 3 days off to travel the island.
Our house is your home away from home and you are welcome to use the living room, yard, patio etc. If you enjoy photography or oil painting - we would welcome spending time together sharing these hobbies!
We have two dogs.

My dear Deborah and Roman. When I thought of writing a review, I wanted to write about gratitude. But with every word I understood that it is impossible to convey in words what you have done for me.
