This fundraiser is for Olha Voitykova, Tetiana Ius and Olena Shevelova. I've been working and living half-time in Kharkiv, Ukraine, for the last 15 years.  Olha, Tetiana and Olena and I worked together on many IT projects. Kharkiv was a beautiful city with many parks. But, sadly, after the indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets,  the city is almost unlivable. Olha, Tetiana and Olena need your help to resettle in a safe environment.
 
Olha has a nine-year-old son Kirill, a four-year-old daughter Masha, and a twelve-year-old daughter, Katya.
 
Olha, a single mom with three kids, works as an IT testing staff in Kharkiv, Ukraine. In March, Kharkiv residential neighborhoods were carpet-bombed, destroying many structures around Olha's home. Now, essential utilities like electricity, gas, internet and water are barely working. In addition, the lack of a ceasefire agreement and the difficulty of traveling with three kids hinders Olha's effort to flee. As a result, Olya's family lives in fear for their lives and future.
 
In this photo, Brother Alex, father Evheniy, youngest brother Daniil, Tetiana, and mother Olga are together for a barbecue in Izyum.
 
Tetiana and her grandmother live in Izyum. She works remotely as a translator, graphic artist and web designer. Last year she bought and renovated an apartment in downtown Izyum. Then, on March 7th, Russian troops bombed and destroyed her apartment. Shortly after, Russian troops were searching her area. She fled with only what she could carry and left behind all her computers and equipment for work. She was lucky to be alive. She is with her parents, awaiting a window to escape.
 
Olena works as a project manager and web designer. Last year, she lost her mother.
 
Her grandfather Vladimir Duhov and grandmother Tetiana Duhova are her only close relatives. Her grandparents are afraid that they cannot withstand the stress of multiday travel to Poland. Now, Trains' journeys are incredibly chaotic and dangerous. Her grandparents will not be able to withstand the overcrowded train platform. Olena and her grandparents would like to hire a car to escape the bombing in Kharkiv, but the price is exorbitant, and space is limited. Even if she finds a car, she will have to leave with only what she can carry.
 
This war has taken everything from Olha, Tetiana and Olena. So I'm raising funds to ease their financial burdens. All donations will help ensure their basic needs are met and support them with rent and associated costs to resettle in a safe environment.
 
Transparent Plan for Transfer of Funds (Gofundme Unsupported Country)
 
Unfortunately, Gofundme doesn't support Ukrainian funds transfer, and Ukrainian banks are not working in Kharkiv. However, Olha, Tetiana and Olena have a Payoneer/PayPal account for global payment. So all funds received will be divided equally and moved to their account.
