We are heartbroken to share that our beloved colleague and friend, Anna, has experienced the sudden and devastating loss of her husband, Sergey. His passing was completely unexpected and has left her and their daughter facing unimaginable grief and uncertainty.

Sergey was a provider for their family. With no immediate family in the United States, Anna and her daughter are navigating this profound loss entirely on their own while also facing overwhelming financial responsibilities, including housing, daily living expenses, and funeral-related costs.

As a teacher, Anna has dedicated her life to caring for, supporting, and educating children—always putting others first. Now, she needs our help.

We are asking for support to help ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time so she can focus on healing and caring for her daughter. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping this family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.

With gratitude
