The Winning Ticket
11/27/1997 - The day I won the lottery. Many of you know, but for those who don’t, I was adopted from Moscow, Russia at 18 months old.

If you want to know more about my story, please reach out at any time. I’m happy to share with anyone. But my story is not important right now.

The story of 100,000 Ukrainian Orphans is what’s important. The unwritten story for so many children who are waiting on their winning lottery ticket for a chance at life, a family, and a future.

Since Russia invaded, Ukrainian adoptions to the US have been paused. Without means or money, orphanages are dependent on the help of churches and non-profits to escape Ukraine for safety.

My blood may be Russian, but my heart will always be American. I am ashamed of Russia’s actions. Please do not hold all Russians accountable for the actions of the government. I am proud and blessed to be an American, and a Texan.

I have decided to donate to Kidsave. You have my word that I have personally verified their credibility on IRS.gov and Charitynavigator.org. Their EIN number is 91-1887623 for your own reference. I created this GoFundMe to collect additional donations. 100% will go to Kidsave directly.

I will match friends and family donations to my GoFundMe up to $500. Don’t let that be the maximum, set it as the minimum.

Help save the Ukrainian Orphans. Donate and give the children that ticket to win their own lottery.

Provide Humanitarian Aid & Evacuations in Ukraine
At 5am on February 24th, Pavel and Elena were woken up by the bombing of their local airport. They then realized that to continue helping the women and children of Ukraine, they’d have to evacuate them from the front lines.

They have worked since 2014 to help orphaned children in Ukraine to become a part of loving families. Elena and Pavel adopted 7 children of their own, and realized that their educations as a doctor and lawyer respectively were not sufficient for helping their own children with their psychological trauma. They went back to school to increase their knowledge, and soon found themselves a resource for their friends who also wanted to adopt children. They therefore worked with KidSave and created systems of mentorship for both the children and parents that have helped to end the cycle of orphans in Ukraine.

However in February of 2022, orphans in Ukraine had to deal not only with the trials of being without a family, but also with the outbreak of Russia’s war. Pavel and Elena received calls from the networks of people they’d helped over the years, asking for their help in escaping the warzones of Ukraine. It was then they decided to risk their own lives to better those of others.

Pavel: “...our whole team was called angels of hope. But we’re just doing what we think we should for our people, our nation, and our women that we want to save.”

As of speaking to them on June 7th 2022, they had evacuated 20,000 people and brought 58 tons of humanitarian aid to those still living in the buffer zones between Ukraine and Russia.

This fundraiser is being organized by members of a class on the Ukraine Crisis at the University of Arizona that had the privilege of talking to Elena and Pavel between their heroic endeavors. We are working alongside the organization KidSave International. We hope to provide them money for food, fuel, and other resources they need to help on the front lines of the Ukraine crisis. Please help us to further the mission of these angels of hope!

Gifts for Children in Foster Care
Kidsave International is a non-profit organization built to give older kids families. Children growing up in orphanages do not get the care that they truly need and deserve. It has been proven that children in these circumstances develop learning disabilities, have growth delays and diminished intellectual capacities. In addition to this, there are many children out there that struggle with the phsycological trauma of being neglected for most or all of their life, being abused whether physcially or emotionally, and/or even the trauma of losing their parents.

While the organization is working so hard to find loving parents for each and every child, the ones that haven't found a stable home yet are in foster care, holding about 35-40 children between the ages of 11-17 years old.

My friends and I wanted to do something life-changing for these children while they wait to be placed in the perfect home. Growing up in foster care, these kids don't have the privilege that others do. So with this, we wanted to raise money so that these children could feel the joy in the air with the holiday season right around the corner.

On December 16th, Kidsave is hosting a holiday event where my friends and I will be bringing these children their gifts. The total amount that we recieve will be equally divided and given to each and every child. So let's make every penny count!
