Farewell to a Brave Young Ukrainian Soldier

My name is Natan Aser, and I am raising funds to cover the funeral expenses and travel costs that I personally will incur for my son, Benjamin Aser’s funeral. Unfortunately, Benjamin lost his life defending Ukraine. Although I have submitted an official request to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and hope that, upon its approval, the funeral will be held in Kyiv, the exact location has not yet been finalized. Given the very recent nature of the situation and the limited information available, I am maintaining ongoing communication with the Ukrainian diplomatic mission.

As Benjamin’s father, I am a disabled pensioner with very limited financial means, which is why I am now asking for help from the community. Organizing a dignified farewell for my son would be impossible for me alone.

All funds raised will be used exclusively for organizing the funeral and covering the related expenses I am responsible for, as his father. No other beneficiaries or organizations are involved at this time. I am happy to provide further details privately for verification upon request.

For clarity, the beneficiary of this fundraiser is myself, Natan Aser, residing in Toronto, Canada. The funds will be used exclusively for travel to Kyiv, Ukraine, and for partial funeral expenses that may remain my personal responsibility as Benjamin’s father. These costs include airfare, local accommodation, and any other personal obligations related to the burial. No other individuals or organizations will receive funds, and I will personally manage all payments directly.
