Help my family and friends in Chernihiv, Ukraine.

From my wife, Anna:

I would be very grateful for your help for my family and friends who are currently sheltering in a basement in Chernihiv, Ukraine. The city is under siege from Russian and Belarus forces, now targeting civilian sites including apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, and kindergartens.

 

My family in Chernihiv include my mother Nadiya, my sister Zosia, my nephew Roma (11), my nephew Oleg (19) and my brother-in-law Max. They are with our church community, all together, as it is too dangerous outside. There are some limited supplies in a local shop, which is able to open for a couple of hours each day - although prices have increased a lot. They are unable to leave Chernihiv at this time, as it is too dangerous - but we hope we can get them to Ireland one day soon, if the situation improves.

 

Here are a few photos from where they are sheltering

The purpose of this fundraising campaign is to generate money to pay for essential costs and supplies for my family and friends sheltering together in our community. We will ensure this money goes directly to them, as most other fundraising campaigns are benefitting people in Western Ukraine, or refugees who make it out.

 

My husband, Emmett, and I are so grateful for your prayers and support, and for anything you may be able to contribute.
