Hi, I’m Daryna, a 21-year-old Christian girl from Ukraine.
My city was bombed every day, so I had to leave and come to the U.S. under humanitarian parole. I haven’t been home in 3 years, and without a green card, I can’t leave the U.S. and return. I’m raising $10,000 to apply for my green card so I can stay safe, build a future, and visit home again.
This fundraiser is only to cover my personal immigration costs (green card fees, lawyer, and related expenses) so I can stay safe, continue ministry, and one day become a U.S. citizen. All funds are handled by me directly and will only be used for this immigration process.

Hi, my name is Daryna Totok. Three years ago, I had to leave my home because my city Mykolaiv was being bombed every single day. I came to the United States under humanitarian parole (U4U) and I’ve been here ever since — with no financial support from family or anyone else.
This fundraiser is for me, Daryna Totok, and is only to cover my personal immigration costs. Every donation will go directly to my verified bank account and will be used only for my green card process, including USCIS filing fees, immigration lawyer costs, medical exams, translations, and other required expenses to complete my application.
In these three years, I’ve built a life here. I attended ministry school, discovered a calling to serve and help people, and found a place where I can grow, study, and live without fear. But I’m now at a point where I need to take the next step — applying for my green card.
The green card isn’t just a document to me. It’s:
• A way to finally feel secure and stable after years of uncertainty.
• A step toward becoming a U.S. citizen — something I deeply want, so I can belong and build a life here.
• A chance to visit my family back home— I haven’t seen my parents and grandparents in three years, and I can’t leave the country right now because I wouldn’t be allowed back in without permanent residency.
• A way to continue studying, serving, and going on missions, sharing hope with people both here and abroad.
Applying for a green card is expensive — between USCIS filing fees, legal help, medical exams, translations, and travel for interviews, the total cost is about $10,000. I’m working hard, but I can’t cover this amount on my own.
If you feel led to help, your support will not only help me stay in the U.S. but also allow me to see my family again before it’s too late, and continue to serve and build a life rooted in purpose and faith.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to stability, reunion, and a future where I can give back even more. Thank you for reading my story, for sharing, and for standing with me in this journey.
Goal: $10,000
Covers:
• USCIS filing fees
