The war that changed lives
Since 2022, the war in Ukraine has forced millions of people to leave their homes in search of safety. Whether they have fled to neighboring countries or left their hometowns to protect their families, Ukrainian refugees have been living on the streets for almost three years, trying to rebuild their lives far from home. This humanitarian tragedy has changed the destinies of millions of people, who now depend on the support of communities across Europe to find stability.
Among these families was the Petrov family, who were forced to leave their entire lives behind after the invasion. After a journey long and full of uncertainty, they arrived in Romania, where they had to find effective solutions to get on with their lives, including managing their travel expenses.

But, to his surprise, Parkado charged the standard rate, with no penalties for overtime. "It was a huge relief. We had no resources for additional fees and this gesture helped us enormously to stay afloat," Mr. Petrov recounted.
Conclusion: Parkado more than a parking lot - a real support
