Dear Hive community, dear Ukrainian family,
Friends of mine are offering a bedroom in their lovely home in The Hague, The Netherlands. They are amazing people and are generous, friendly, and I can personally vouch for them to receive you with open arms.
If you need a safe place to stay for a while please get in touch with me so I can get you in touch with them. You can reach me via the comment section, via Telegram (
I'm not going to make this a long post, read their own invitation below so you can see if this is a match for your needs.
Good luck & Stay safe,
Rosa

About the room and our house:
We have a guestroom (10m2) available in our home for 1 person to sleep and use as their personal space, and sharing the rest of our house and facilities (bathroom, kitchen, living room, terrace, etc) with us. You are very welcome to join us for meals, but if you prefer to make your own food and/or keep to yourself that is absolutely fine too; we are happiest when you feel you can choose to do what’s right for your well-being.
Our home is LGBTQ+ friendly (because I am queer myself, we will only host people who are respectful of LGBTQ+ people) and is located in a very multicultural neighbourhood, in the heart of one of the largest cities in the country. We have no car ourselves, because public transport here is very good and affordable. If we need a car to help out we can always ask and borrow one from friends or family.
The guestroom has a large bed, a small couch, a closet and a large window. It has no desk but there are two tables in the rest of the house to use as a desk/workspace. There is no tv in the guestroom, but there is of course wifi in the guestroom and everywhere else in the house. There is a TV in the living room.
Because our house has two tall stairs it is not suitable for people who have difficulty climbing stairs. Because we have three (very friendly and cuddly) cats it is not suitable for people who are (very) allergic to cats.
Although our house is in the center of town, it is a very calm, relaxing space. We have no garden but a small patio and a roof terrace to enjoy the outside and there are public parks nearby.
Our home is where we find peace, relaxation and joy, and we want to offer the same space/feeling to someone in need.
About us:
My name is Marleen (woman, 35 year): I work part time as a restaurant cook and am an artist, making clothing and objects from raw wool and silk, felt, fabrics, paper, leather, etc. I've made many different things (wedding dresses, hand bound books, scarfs, stuffed toys, and many more). I never make the same thing twice because I always create something unique and special for a specific person. If our guest enjoys felting, spinning, sewing, crafting, etc.: I have a small atelier at home with a sewing machine, a spinning wheel and lots of other tools and supplies that I can share with you as well. I enjoy cooking for others and making big amounts of food to put in the freezer and give to friends and family.
I’ve been together with Wouter (man, 40 years) for many years.
He works as a consultant; sometimes he works from our home, sometimes at the office. He enjoys cycling, gaming and wood working.
Together we enjoy playing board games, watching rugby and spending time with friends and family with good food and good conversations.
If you want to, you are of course also welcome to join us when people come to visit. Although non of us speak Ukrainian (yet), we and almost all our friends and family are fluent in English and will happily welcome you to the conversation.
