Hello, we are Maryna and Viktor, and we have three young children, 11, 9, and 2. We live in the Knoxville, Tennessee area.

On February 4th of this year, a terrible accident occurred. Our daughter, Sofia, nine years of age, was returning from the playground and was shot in the leg. The bullet came from a teenager's gun, and Sofia was hit by a stray bullet. The bullet became lodged in her leg. If not for the Lord's protection, she could have been killed. This has caused her enormous trauma, both mental and physical. She still has a great deal of pain as the bullet has not been able to be removed.

After multiple consultations with local surgeons, we have found no one willing to remove the bullet in the Knoxville area. We have found doctors in California and Washington State, who are able to remove the bullet. We, as parents, are very worried about the further consequences of the bullet on her health and want to remove it from her body. This operation requires a considerable amount of money. We are asking for this money so our daughter can live her life without this burden.

We trust Jesus and His faithfulness, and may all of you be blessed for helping our family.
