Urgent Help for My Cousin — Kyiv, Ukraine

My cousin lives in Kyiv. She’s a mother of three and one of the strongest people I know. But now, life has brought her to a painful crossroads.

Her knee is severely damaged — a torn meniscus, bone fragments, and no fluid left in the joint. Every step brings sharp, constant pain. Yet she keeps working, because her children depend on her. Doctors say surgery is the only way to keep her walking. Without it, she may lose that ability altogether. The total cost, including recovery, is over $5,000 — far beyond what she can manage alone.

I’m reaching out for help.

Even a small donation can move her closer to healing — to standing without pain, to being the mom her kids can run to again.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for giving hope when it matters most.
