ear Friends, I hate to ask again, but I need to collect some money for a Ukrainian friend again. This is Oleksandr, a friend of mine who lives in Odessa. Sasha - as his nickname is - is an orphan, he lost his parents at a young age, and his grand mother - who was taking care of him - died a few months later. Sasha doesn't work, he would like to and picks up shifts doing dishes in a cafe, but jobs are hard to find in Odessa these days. He even tried some online adult streaming, but He's a bit shy, so that didn't work too well either. Having no job in a country where the prices of groceries and energy are rising cos of the war isn't pleasant. Sasha never asks me for money, but if I ask and I notice he hasn't eaten yet, I'll send him a few Euros to buy some food.

Now Sasha needs ome surgery. There's no all in healthcare in Ukraine, like in Western Europe, so if you need medical help, you just have to pay it yourself. Sasha suffers from Chronic tonsillitis, causing him to have frequent flu symptoms. Removing his tonsils will solve this the operation cost $500 plus $100 for meds (and anaesthesia). I tried to send him some money to help him pay, but a) I'm not very rich myself (not having been able to work for the last few years and b) he needed some money for dental work. I'm glad he used my surgery money for his dental work, cos you don't wanna lose any teeth when you're young.

If you can spare a few dollars, please do. I want Sasha to be able to get the operation before his birthday (end off March). If there's mire, he can buy food, join a gym, and start to pay off the debt he got from lending money the last few years. Saha is a lovely sweet guy, and it hurts me to see him like this. I just want to see him happy.
