Aid for Maria's Healing and Stability

Story

My name is Vera Stankevich. I am raising money for a very brave young woman - Maria Salko. She came to America with her little daughter from Ukraine, right after the war there started. Their city, Mariupol, was destroyed; up to 100,000 civilians got buried under ruins after the most awful bombings we can imagine. Even now, it feels like a miracle that they could escape and got here. Though they both still suffer from Post Traumatic Disorder, Maria does her best to adjust to her new life here, in America: her daughter is successful in school, Maria studies English and was ready to start working when a new emergency hit her little family: she required and underwent surgery, and though her life is now not in danger, she still needs some time for recovery. Add here that there is a stressful situation with refugee status being on hold for all Ukrainians, we can understand what Maria is going through. But, as I said, she is a very brave, intelligent, well-educated woman. I have known her for more than 3 years now, observed her in different pretty hard circumstances, but I never saw her giving up. Right now, she just needs a little of our help and support. Please help me to collect some money for Maria - to help her with her recovery and immediate rent payment. All your donations will go directly to Maria's account. On behalf of Maria, I appreciate every cent of your donation. Thank you and God Bless Your Heart!
