“A lot of times, with the efforts that we put into things, we don’t necessarily see the results. But with this, I could make a difference in at least one person’s life.”

In the weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, Mary—an American living in Berlin—knew she wanted to do something to help. When she saw Airbnb.org’s call to action online, she listed her apartment free of charge.

Soon after, Dima arrived to stay for two weeks. A man in his 20s, Dima was living in Kyiv when Russians began bombing the city. A grassroots organization named Safebow helped Dima and his hairless cat, Peach, travel through Poland to Berlin. There, Airbnb.org’s partner the Organization for Refuge, Asylum, and Migration (ORAM) helped him find housing and register for social services.

After a trip filled with obstacles, arriving at Mary’s apartment was a relief for Dima and they immediately clicked. They spent hours at her kitchen table, sharing meals and drinking beers, and stayed in touch after he moved into another apartment.

“It was a gigantic boost to my start here,” Dima says.

Mary and Dima’s story is just one of thousands. Airbnb.org’s global community has shown us the difference one person can make.
