Lego enthusiast Andrey Sigorov, 11, was forced to leave his collection behind when he came to Ireland.
An 11-year-old Lego fanatic from Ukraine, whose family have taken refuge in Ireland, has been overwhelmed with Lego donations, according to his father.Mr Sidorov made an online appeal for people to send him some Lego bricks, so Andrey could get building again."A lot of people sent us lots of boxes, new Lego, used Lego - so my Andrey is already building toys with Lego again," Mr Sidorov told BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme."New toys have been delivered... it's non-stop.
This allows them to enter Ireland without checks or visas beforehand, as well as getting access to benefits and healthcare, and the right to work."My eldest son is engaged in the creation and construction of various Lego toys on a semi-professional level without instruction," he posted on social media.
