Who I Am & Why I’m Fundraising

My name is Nkem Ijeh , and I am a trauma-informed clinical psychologist based in the Netherlands. For almost two years, I have been providing pro bono therapy to a courageous , neurodivergent woman living in Ukraine via It's Complicated.

I have seen her face unimaginable challenges with resilience — from surviving the stress of war to managing her mental health while living in constant uncertainty. Today, her situation has become critical, and I’m organizing this fundraiser to protect her privacy while ensuring she can receive urgent help.

Why This Fundraiser Is Urgent

Her city is now under more frequent bombings, which have triggered severe anxiety and panic attacks.

The recent shutdown of USAID funding has cut off essential resources she relied on for food, shelter, and medical support.

She is without food, behind on rent, and under threat of having her bank accounts frozen.

Most urgently, she has an opportunity to relocate to a safer place, but she cannot do this without financial help.

How Your Contribution Helps

• $50 – Covers food and basic necessities for one week

• $100 – Supports medication and anxiety relief resources

• $205 – Pays one month’s rent to prevent eviction

• $500+ – Moves her closer to relocation: transportation, temporary housing, and essential documents

Every amount — large or small — moves her closer to safety, stability, and hope.

Why This Matters

This is more than an emergency appeal — it’s a chance to help someone reclaim her safety, dignity, and a future free from daily fear. Together, we can make that possible.

Please give what you can and share this campaign widely. Your kindness can change her life.

All funds will be going to her.
