Support for Kuzmin Family in Crisis

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Valeria. I reach out to you with a heavy heart for support. On March 14th, we lost Roman Kuzmin, the father of my son Timur. Roman's tragic death was the result of an epileptic seizure during his sleep.

Amidst a war that we could not support, Roman, being of military age, refused to participate in combat actions against his people. His mother, Elena Kuzmina, did everything possible to provide our family with a safe haven. Roman was the only child of his mother, who has been a widow for many years, living solely for her son. She sold the family home and mortgaged her apartment so we could urgently leave the country in 2022. We hoped that Roman would find work in the USA and help his mother with the loan repayment, as her modest pension doesn't even cover the monthly payments for the mortgaged apartment. I had to take on many loans and debts to ensure we had enough money. Currently not working and attending an adult English language school, I am unable to assist her.

We are gathering funds not only for assistance but also to cover the funeral expenses for Roman. This campaign is also a call for salvation for Elena Kuzmina. Your support will help preserve the apartment and give her a chance for the future. Any help from you will be invaluable to us. If your support allows us not only to cover debts but also leaves funds, we plan to bring Elena to her grandson Timur. This visit is crucial as it is the only way she can visit her son's grave, offering her a chance for closure and to grieve properly. Timur resembles his father so much, and it is only in this hope of reunion that she finds solace. Currently, due to debts, Elena cannot even leave the country to visit us.

We are sincerely grateful for any support. Thank you for not remaining indifferent to another's sorrow and being ready to lend a hand.

With respect and hope,
Valeriia and the Kuzmin family.
