Help a Ukrainian young woman fight cancer

Hi, my name is Oksana, and I desperately need to help my dearest friend who lives in Poltava, Ukraine.

Just as the war in Ukraine unleashed chaos and upended millions of lives, my friend’s 23-year-old daughter Ksyusha was diagnosed with plasmacytoma.

Cancer clinics in Ukraine have been abandoned or even shelled, and necessary medicine has been destroyed, making oncological treatments impossible. The reality is that the prognosis for cancer patients in Ukraine is getting darker by the day, and my friend’s family is looking for treatment options abroad. Additionally, Ksyusha has other health issues making leaving Ukraine even more difficult: she is in a lot of pain after two recent back surgeries and is very fatigued.

My friend said, “I would sell my house if there was no war. Nobody will buy it now since tomorrow it could be hit by a bomb.” The estimated cost of cancer treatment is $50,000. They have no resources now. This war is so mean!

Please spare what you can to help her fight this challenge. Every little bit makes a difference. Your kindness can help save a life.

Thanks!
