I am reaching out to you because I am seeking ways to offer meaningful financial support to a dear friend in Ukraine, Nickoli, who is currently sheltering refugees in his home. Nickoli played a vital role in helping my sister and me through our adoption process, and I am forever grateful for his kindness and generosity. Now, as the harsh winter draws near and the war in Ukraine intensifies, Nickoli and his family have opened their doors to vulnerable individuals who have nowhere else to go, providing them with safety, warmth, and hope.

Recently, Nickoli shared that Ukrainian officials are urging citizens to prepare for a severe humanitarian crisis, with many families facing disrupted services, food shortages, and rising risks as the situation worsens. Knowing this, I am eager to do everything in my power to support Nickoli and the refugees he is caring for with direct financial aid, assistance for food and heating costs. Your guidance and support are deeply appreciated as we work together to offer relief to his family and the refugees that are facing much risk during this difficult time.
