Please Help My Friend Larysa Return to Canada

My dear friend Larysa was supposed to fly to Canada on November 30. She crossed the border into Poland, but at the airport she discovered that her international visa had expired — its validity ended on October 31, 2025. Because of this, she was denied boarding.

Larysa lost her airline ticket, which cost $1,269, and it was non-refundable. Now she is forced to stay in Poland for about three weeks while she waits for a new visa document from the consulate.

She is facing a very difficult situation:

she must pay for housing and food during these three weeks in Poland;

after receiving her documents, she will need to buy a new ticket to Canada, and the cheapest options now start from $1,500;

all her savings were spent in Ukraine on her mother’s medical treatment.

I truly want to help her and support her as much as I can. But as a mother of three daughters, currently not working yet, I simply cannot afford to cover such a large amount on my own.

That is why I am reaching out to the kindness of others, asking for your support.

Any contribution — even the smallest one — will help Larysa get through this unexpected and stressful situation and return to her work and life in Canada.

Please consider helping. Every donation brings her closer to safety and stability.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who can contribute. ❤️
