Hi everyone,

I’m getting married next week (25.06.25) — and while I’m incredibly excited, I’ve also been hit with some heartbreaking last-minute cancellations. The one that hurts most is that my niece, brother-in-law, and nephew won’t be able to attend my wedding because they simply can’t afford the travel.

My sister has done everything she can to help our family get here, and I’m already covering my mother’s flight — but my savings are now completely gone.

We’re Estonian-Ukrainian, and like many, we’re expecting hard times. Through it all, my niece has been like a daughter to me — I’ve helped raise her since I was 13. She’s grown up into an incredible woman, and I can’t imagine not having her with me on one of the most meaningful days of my life.

If I’m lucky enough to raise enough for my brother-in-law and nephew as well, I would be endlessly grateful. But truly — if I can just get my girl here, it would mean everything.

If you can donate anything at all or even just share this page, it would make such a difference.

I know there are many more urgent causes in the world — but I promised myself I would try every avenue before giving up.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, for caring, and for being part of my story.

With love,

Auntie Silvia
