My name is Maksym Orel.

During a combat mission, my unit fell into an ambush.

One bullet destroyed my L-5 vertebra and damaged my intestines —

and my life changed forever.

Since then, I’ve undergone 43 surgeries in Ukraine, Germany, and the United States.And I am still fighting.

Today my biggest threat is a 4MRGN life threatening infection —

that requires continuous care, and the only available treatment is here in the United States. Without the financial means to maintain healthcare coverage, I will lose access to the rehabilitation center and have nowhere else to go. I am seeking support through GoFundMe to help cover healthcare insurance and medical expenses so I can continue receiving the care I require to survive. Any contribution directly helps ensure I have a safe place to receive treatment.

I am fully willing to provide photos and videos documenting how all funds are allocated toward medical care and insurance.

The foundation can no longer support my care,and now I must continue this fight on my own.

Thank you for supporting my mission in saving my life it means more than words can say- thank you so much.
