Dear friends,

Let’s join hearts to support our dear friend and dedicated HTC choir singer, Maria.

As some of you may know, Maria’s 25-year-old brother, Iliya, was wounded. His arm has not been healing properly for months, and he is now facing the heartbreaking possibility of amputation.

With hospitals overwhelmed by the number of wounded soldiers, it has been incredibly difficult for Iliya to receive the specialized care he needs. Their mother, Natalia, had to leave her job in Poland and return home to help find a clinic that can perform a complex bone transplant surgery—a procedure not covered by the public health system. The estimated cost for the first surgery is $4,000–$6,000 USD, with additional expenses expected for further treatment and rehabilitation.

Let’s come together to support Maria, Iliya, and Natalia. Every contribution—no matter how small—will help Iliya on the long journey toward recovery.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. God bless you all.

The names of all donors and their family members (please provide names) will be submitted to various monasteries for prayer & commemoration.
