My name is Roman, and my family and I are seeking your support as we work to build a safe and stable life in the United States. We are originally from Sumy, Ukraine, a city near the Russian border that continues to experience attacks. To protect our children, we left Ukraine and lived in Poland for several years. In 2024, we were able to come to the U.S. through the Uniting for Ukraine program, hoping to find safety and a future for our three children.

Now, we are facing a new challenge. In order to remain legally in the United States, we must apply for re-parole. The U.S. government requires a filing fee for each family member, and for our family of five, the total is more than we can afford. We are a low-income family, currently receiving SNAP and Medicaid, and while we are working hard to support ourselves, this amount is impossible for us to pay on our own.

Your support will allow us to stay together in the U.S., where our children can continue to go to school and feel safe. It means we can keep working, supporting our family, and building a future away from war. Most importantly, it gives our children the chance to grow up in a place where they are safe and have hope. Any help you can give will make a real difference for our family, and we are deeply grateful for your kindness.
