Please Help my Ukrainian Family
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Olga and I am trying to help my Ukrainian family to overcome this terrible time. I can't even imagine what they are going through, but their lives have turned upside down overnight. What I do know is that my parents run to a makeshift bomb shelter multiple times per day. This has become their daily morning routine instead of going to buy a fresh loaf of bread. My brother, Andrey, said goodbye to his wife and son at the Moldovian border this morning, March 2nd, just before the next round of bombing in their town of Odesa. He hopes that they will fly out from one of the boarding counties in the next few days. Andrey is 35, being a male between 18-60, is not allowed to leave the country. My parents, Lena and Valera, and my grandma, Tonya, are still in Ukraine. My parents are staying put to support Andrey and my grandma. My brother has a 6-hour journey from Odesa to Kaniv to join my parents and we are praying he makes it there safely with their cat, Milka.
A lot of people have been asking me how they can help. I made this Gofundme for those who would like to help my family. The money will go towards food, clothes, airfare, and medical care for all of them. With no one able to work and their lives left behind, every bit will go toward helping them to survive this catastrophe. I hope to get all of them out of the country and somewhere safe, hopefully to the U.S.
Thank you so much, your thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.
