Owned by the Cieszyn Diocese of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland, the House of Betania in the Wapienica area of Bielsko-biała has become the home of a number of refugee families from Ukraine, following the Russian invasion in February 2022. The church has renovated the buildings in order to accommodate families in a dormitory style, with private rooms for each family and a shared kitchen, dining room, playing room and hygiene facilities. The house currently hosts 7 families making up a total of some 20 people, most of them women and children. An English teacher by profession, Iryna lives with her two children, 8-year-old Yaroslav and 13-year-old Yana, and continues to offer English classes online to individual students by online media.
