I am a US citizen residing in Miami, FL. I was born in a little Ukrainian town called Boyarka and lived there for a few years before my family moved to Kyiv. One of my cousins who still live in Boyarka told me a story of a five-year-old girl from the nearby town of Bucha who spent two weeks in the cellar with the corpses of her mother and grandmother shot by Russian soldiers.

An orphanage in my hometown of Boyarka was recently evacuated to a Polish town of Ustka. There were eighty-four kids, including twenty newborns; the youngest was only 11 days old. Many of them require medical attention, and unfortunately, there are many more coming... I want to express my endless gratitude to the people of Poland, and a special Thank You goes to the people of Ustka, who opened their arms to help Ukrainian refugees. However, they need help. The orphanage is set up from scratch in a temporary facility, and they need everything – a washing machine and a dryer, cloth, food, hygiene products, strollers, toys, etc. No amount is too small, and every dollar will go a long way. Please let me know if you need a record for tax purposes, and do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need additional information. We have a direct line of communication with the orphanage and will provide feedback on how funds were spent.

Please spread the word. Thank you so much for your help!
