This is the one I immediately thought of
My grandparents looked after a girl, Edith, from the kindertransport during the war. Thankfully her parents managed to make it out to the US, where she later joined them, but my granny corresponded with her for the rest of her life.1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes -

My grandparents were methodists, and I believe it was arranged through their church. They had three boys already and would have adopted Edith - luckily not necessary. E loved my dad (who was a small baby) and my uncle visited her in the US in the 60s :)

It’s so brilliant that you all stayed in touch. I imagine she wouldn’t have minded staying with yout family, rather than moving continents.
