Ilia Shevnitsyn

Hello, my name is Ilia. I came to the United States from Russia hoping to build a safe future for my family. I work as an electrician and also perform as a DJ. For the past year and a half, I have been raising my 8-year-old son alone after my wife was deported during our asylum process. I have been doing my best to work and care for my child on my own. We spend a lot of time together, and one of our favorite things is riding bicycles in the mountains of Arizona. Unfortunately, during one of these rides, I suffered a serious leg injury in a bicycle accident and was hospitalized. At the time, I did not have health insurance, and now I am facing significant medical bills that I cannot afford. We were already preparing for a difficult transition to reunite our family, and this situation has made it even harder. The funds will primarily be used to cover my hospital and emergency medical bills from the bicycle accident, as well as follow-up treatment and rehabilitation for my leg injury. While I recover, I will also need some support for basic living expenses such as rent, food, and caring for my 8-year-old son, since I am currently unable to work at full capacity. The goal is to stabilize my situation, recover properly, and return to work as soon as possible so I can continue supporting my son and move forward with reuniting my family. Any support, even the smallest amount, means a lot. If you cannot donate, sharing this campaign would help greatly. Thank you for your kindness and support.
