Hello, dear friends. We are a family from Odessa who came to the United States searching for safety and a future for our children. We are also expecting a baby soon.

Sadly, our lives have taken a very difficult turn. My husband, who is a hard-working driver with all the proper documents, was recently put in jail because of the recent events. Now he has no chance to come back home, and I have been left alone, with no income and no way to provide for myself or our children.

Right now, the most urgent need is financial help to pay for a lawyer who can support our case. Without legal assistance and some basic support, we have nowhere to turn and risk ending up on the street.

This is the most painful and frightening moment of our lives. If you are able, please help us with anything you can. Even the smallest donation will bring us hope and give us a chance to stand on our feet again.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your prayers.
