Dyna eiriau Nathan Gardner a groesawodd deulu o Wcráin i’w gartref ddiwedd mis Tachwedd.


Cafodd y Swyddog Busnes o Ddinas Powys, ynghyd â’i wraig a’i ddwy ferch, eu paru â Nadiia a’i merch ar ôl ymweliad cartref llwyddiannus gan Gyngor Bro Morgannwg. Gorfodwyd y ddwy i ffoi o Wcráin ar ôl i’r rhyfel ddechrau ym mis Chwefror.


Wrth weld erchyllterau gweithredoedd Putin, fe wnaeth Nathan a’i deulu drafod y syniad o ddod yn lletywyr a phleidleisio’n unfrydol i agor eu drws i bobl sydd wedi eu dadleoli o Wcráin.


Dyma benderfyniad mae Nathan yn falch iawn ohono:



> “Pam na fyddech chi’n ceisio helpu? Mae eu bywydau wedi eu troi wyneb i waered heb fai o gwbl arnyn nhw.
> 
> 
> “Mae’n benderfyniad mawr ac yn un mae angen i chi ei ystyried o ddifrif gyda’ch teulu. Er y gallwn ni gwyno am yr hyn sy’n digwydd yn ein bywydau o ddydd i ddydd, mae’r problemau hynny yn ddibwys o’i gymharu â’r hyn mae pobl Wcráin wedi ei wynebu.”


Yn benderfynol o sicrhau y gallai Nadiia a’i merch gyrraedd mewn pryd ar gyfer yr Adfent, dechreuodd Nathan wneud rhai newidiadau i gartref y teulu \- gan gynnwys symud ei ddwy ferch i’r un ystafell wely er mwyn gwneud lle.


Dywedodd:



> “Ar ôl y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, roeddwn yn awyddus i ferch Nadiia gael y cyfle i brofi’r cyfnod cyn y Nadolig fel y dylai plentyn 11 oed.
> 
> 
> “Yn yr oedran hwnnw, ddylen nhw ddim gallu dweud y gwahaniaeth rhwng sut mae bom yn swnio a sut mae rownd tanc yn swnio. Dydy o ddim yn iawn.



> “Mae ei gweld hi’n trawsnewid yn blentyn heb boen o fath yn y byd eto yn amhrisiadwy.”


Mae Nadiia bellach yn gweithio mewn bwyty yng Nghaerdydd, tra mae ei merch yn gorffen ei diwrnod ysgol ym Mro Morgannwg drwy wneud ei gwaith ysgol Wcreinaidd hefyd i sicrhau nad yw hi’n mynd ar ei hôl hi gyda’r cwricwlwm.


Nawr mae’r aelwyd gyfan yn edrych ymlaen at y Nadolig. Bydd teulu Nathan yn rhoi profiad o Nadolig Cymreig i’w gwesteion yn gyntaf cyn i’r teulu o Wcráin roi blas o Flwyddyn Newydd draddodiadol Wcreinaidd iddynt.


Bydd teuluoedd eraill o Wcráin yn ymuno â nhw – sy’n byw yn lleol \- i aros dros nos. Fe wnaeth un ohonynt ffoi o Wcráin gyda Nadiia drwy Estonia.


Ychwanegodd Nathan:



> “Byddwn yn bwyta hwyaden, sy’n draddodiadol ar gyfer yr adeg o’r flwyddyn yn Wcráin, tua 11pm, cyn croesawu 2023 yng nghwmni ffrindiau a theulu \- pan fyddwn ni’n trafod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf a’n gobeithion am y deuddeg mis sydd i ddod.
> 
> 
> “Rwy’n gwybod ym mêr fy esgyrn bydd ein ffrindiau o Wcráin yn gobeithio y gallan nhw dreulio’r Nadolig yn eu cartrefi eu hunain y flwyddyn nesaf. Nes byddan nhw’n gallu gwneud hynny, gallwn ni eu cadw nhw’n ddiogel.”


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, Jane Hutt:



> “Hoffwn ddiolch i Nathan a’i deulu, a phawb ledled Cymru sydd wedi bod yn lletya pobl o Wcráin.
> 
> 
> “Mae eich help a’ch caredigrwydd wedi bod yn rhan amhrisiadwy o’n dull i greu Cenedl Noddfa.
> 
> 
> “Mae nifer o bobl Wcráin wedi dweud wrthym ni pa mor ddiolchgar ydyn nhw am y gefnogaeth mae Cymru wedi ei chynnig ac rwy’n gobeithio bydd straeon fel un Nathan yn annog mwy o bobl i agor eu cartrefi i fwy o Wcreiniaid yn eu hawr o angen.”

Those were the words of Nathan Gardner who welcomed a Ukrainian family into his home at the end of November.


The Business Officer from Dinas Powys, along with his wife and two daughters, were matched with Nadiia and her daughter after a successful home visit by Vale of Glamorgan Council. The pair were forced to flee Ukraine following the outbreak of war in February.


Seeing the atrocities of Putin’s actions, Nathan and his family discussed the idea of becoming hosts and voted unanimously to open their door to displaced Ukrainians.


It is a decision Nathan said he was really proud of:



> “Why wouldn’t you try to help? Their lives have been turned upside down through no fault of their own.
> 
> 
> “It’s a big decision and one you need to talk through seriously with loved ones, but while we might complain about what’s happening in our day\-to\-day lives, those issues are trivial in comparison to what Ukrainian people have experienced.”


Adamant to ensure Nadiia and her daughter could arrive in time for advent, Nathan began making some changes to the family home – including moving his two daughters into the same bedroom to make space.


He said:



> “After the last year, I wanted Nadiia’s daughter to have the chance to experience the run\-up to Christmas an 11\-year\-old should.
> 
> 
> “At that age, they shouldn’t be able to tell the difference between what a bomb sounds like and what a tank round sounds like. It’s just wrong.
> 
> 
> “Seeing her transform into a care\-free child again is priceless.”


Nadiia is now working at a restaurant in Cardiff, while her daughter finishes her school day in the Vale of Glamorgan by also doing her Ukrainian schoolwork to ensure she doesn’t fall behind on the curriculum.


Now the whole household are looking forward to the festive season as Nathan’s family will first give their guests the experience of a British Christmas before they then treat the family to a traditional Ukrainian New Year.


They will be joined by other Ukrainian families – who live locally – to stay the night, one of whom fled Ukraine with Nadiia through Estonia.


Nathan added:



> “We’ll be eating duck, which is traditional for the time of year in Ukraine, at around 11pm, before seeing in 2023 surrounded by friends and family – when we’ll discuss the year just gone and the hopes for the twelve months ahead.
> 
> 
> “I know deep down our Ukrainian friends will be hoping that next year they can spend the festive season in their own homes. Until they’re able to, we can keep them safe.”


Minister for Social Justice, Jane Hutt said:



> “I want to thank Nathan and his family, and all those across Wales who have been hosting people from Ukraine.
> 
> 
> “Your help and kindness has been an invaluable part of our Nation of Sanctuary approach.
> 
> 
> “Many Ukrainian people have told us how thankful they are for the support Wales has offered and I hope stories like Nathan’s will encourage more people to open up their homes to more Ukrainians in their hour of need.”
