URGENT: Donate to Olha's Surgery Expenses by Saving Her Home in Ukraine Olha M. is a 65-year-old Orthodox Christian widow living alone in a rural village in southern Ukraine. She survives on a $70 monthly pension, living with profound humility and simplicity. In 2019, she survived a stroke. But on January 5, 2026, her life was shattered again when she learned her beloved sister had died suddenly abroad. The grief overwhelmed her—she collapsed, began choking, and suffered a heart attack. Rushed to the hospital, doctors gave her two impossible options: ❌ Go home untreated in a life-threatening condition ✔️ Or undergo urgent, lifesaving stent surgery she could not afford Because of wartime shortages and illegal charges, what should have been free care instead cost her: • $3,000 for the stent placement • $1,000 for hospitalization and treatment With no support and no savings, Olha faced a terrible choice—and chose life. She took out a $3,500 loan against her home, at 25% interest, just so a surgeon would operate. The surgery succeeded. But now, after making just one payment, her savings are gone—and her home is at risk. She Lives Alone With: • Nightly terror attacks • Constant power outages • No heat or hot water • No transportation • Constant fear of losing the home she and her late husband built No widow should have to live like this. No human being should be left with nothing after fighting to survive a heart attack. What Your Donation Saves Your generosity will directly help Olha: ✔ Pay off the loan that paid for her procedure ✔ Protect her home from foreclosure ✔ Relieve crushing debt and financial terror ✔ Restore a chance at stable recovery Total urgently needed by September 2026: $3,500 If this loan isn’t paid, the bank will take her home. They will not extend the deadline, and the interest is non-negotiable. ⏳ Time Is Running Out War does not pause for her. Bills do not pause. But kindness can reach her instantly.
