From warring Ukraine to Poland. My story

Hello!
My name is Konstantin. I am from Kharkiv, east part of Ukraine.
There is a war in my country. They are killing civilians. They have no mercy on children.
I have a disability. I am blind.
My hometown has become a dangerous place for me. Every second I fear for my life, because as the shells hit other houses, they can hit my house.
I decided to move to Poland and I did it alone and I would like to tell about it!
It was dangerous to move in my city. 11 kilometers to the train station, not easy to find a car.
I got a list of about 30-40 (I do not know exactly, I did not count them) numbers of taxi drivers who work. But I could not get through.
I found a taxi in one of the applications, I just wrote in the comment that some disabled person is asking for help.
In my country, conditions for people with disabilities are not the best. I called the station, warned about me, they said they made a record about me, but no one met me or knew about me there.
I took a train to western Ukraine. It was not easy. A large crowd, Ukrainian soldiers with machine guns, people were practically fighting in the crowd, and it is good that they did not.
When we were near Kyiv, something like that, people said that the previous train was shelled. People were afraid.
But I got to Lviv, where I was met by friends of friends of my relatives, and taken to the border by car.
There was a Polish driver on the Polish border, in his car there were two Ukrainian girls with children. He brought me to Poland, and further, I expected volunteers to help.
We went to Rzeszów, where I took two trains to Gdynia.
Now I am in Gdynia, and I received a lot of help from volunteers and just Polish people. And I thank them all for their kindness to us.
My parents stayed in Ukraine and I am afraid for them, to be honest.
But I would like to keep moving on. North America or Oceania. I am afraid of nuclear war and would like to be in a safe place.
So, it is possible for the blind to move to other countries on their own, and during the war!
Thanks.

God bless and stay safe, my friend. Hats off to the Poles for standing with the Ukrainian people during this time


All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

***- A czego się boisz, Eowino? – zapytał.
- Klatki – odpowiedziała. – Czekania za kratami, aż zmęczenie i starość każą się z nimi pogodzić, aż wszelka nadzieja wielkich czynów nie tylko przepadnie, lecz straci powab.

Most importantly, we are waiting for a response from local organizations about the help that I can get here, for example, guide. It's the most important thing for me right now.
Also someone told me that in Poland, without citizenship or residence permit, I can register a disability. It's also subject to clarification.
