EP.8 Sofia's odyssey: From Ukraine to Berlin via London and Israel

This is the story of Sofia - a Ukrainian refugee now living in Berlin. After living in Israel , she and her Israel husband  went back to Ukraine a few months before the war with Russia  in 2022,  to be with her mother and grandmother.All too quickly she  found her life turned upside down. 
This holder of a masters degree in international economics now works as a cleaner in Berlin and tells her story to Stephen Barden, with pain, with humour and fearsome grit.

 You know as well as I do that stories about migrants don’t attract big sponsors.
Governments are hostile, corporations stay cautious, and even NGOs hang on to their tightening budgets.

That's why we need your help. Migrant Odyssey exists — to make sure those voices are still heard.

If you’ve ever felt that empathy without action isn’t enough, this is one real way to make a difference. Even a small monthly contribution — one you’ll hardly notice — helps keep these voices alive.
