Dear friends, I am raising funds to assist my acquaintance, Tamar Cherkezishvili, a parishioner of the Presentation of Christ Russian Orthodox Church in Stratford, Connecticut.

Tamar has recently undergone two major surgeries, after which she will be unable to work for an extended period of time. Furthermore, in order to return to a normal life, she requires a prosthetic leg, the cost of which is $20,000. I would be deeply grateful for any amount you might be able to donate to support Tamar during this difficult time.
