Our family is asking for help to bring our son safely out of Ukraine. He is 24 years old and has been trapped in the war for too long. He has seen and experienced things no young man should ever face.

He has sought psychiatric help, but military officers have denied him access to proper care. His mental state is fragile, and he needs to get out – before it’s too late.

We, his family, are living in Sweden. My wife and I have five children here, but our hearts are broken because one of her sons is still left behind.

The only way for him to leave is to pay a $7,000 “exit fee” – a tragic but very real cost in a corrupt and desperate system. We have managed to gather $2,000. We are now trying to raise the remaining $5,000 (about 50,000 SEK) to help him cross the border to Poland and reunite with us.

I am a father and a pastor. This is not easy to ask, but I ask for his life. If you feel moved to help, we would be deeply grateful. Any amount helps.

Please share this with anyone who might care.

With love and hope,

Tanja och Åge Philip Eriksen

Vi prøver å få min kones sønn ut av Ukraina. Han er 24 år, har vært i krigen altfor lenge, og er psykisk skadet av det han har opplevd. Han får ikke den hjelpen han trenger.

For å komme seg over grensen til Polen, må han betale 7000 USD – vi har klart å samle 2000 selv, men mangler resten.

Vi bor i Sverige, og ønsker å få familien samlet. All støtte hjelper. Tusen takk for at du bryr deg.

Vi försöker få min frus son ur Ukraina. Han är 24 år och har varit med om fruktansvärda saker i kriget. Han får inte hjälp, trots att han sökt psykiatrisk vård.

För att ta sig ut måste han betala 7 000 USD – vi har fått ihop 2 000, men behöver hjälp med resten.

Alla gåvor är välkomna. Vi är djupt tacksamma för stöd och delningar.
