Help Alex's Family While He is in Recovery

Donation protected
Hi, My name is Carl Merkle, my wife's name is Olena Ilchenko and I'm fundraising for my stepson Alex Ilchenko. He lives in Ternopil Ukraine and got Covid 19, and that turned into pneumonia. One lung is okay, but the other lung is at 50% capacity and he has not been able to breath fully on his own yet. The recovery has been going slow, but is progressing. Alex has two young children and a wife. All of them got CV19, and recovered. The doctors feel he will recover, so there is peace of mind on that. But the family is rapidly running out of money and we have helped, but are limited due to our own financial situation. So, we are asking for some kind hearted souls to help Alex's family to financially get through this time of crisis for them. Update: 11/14/21. Alex's condition took turn for worse and Alex died last night. His lungs collapsed. His family needs your help more than ever. Please share and please show kindness and love by helping a grieving widow and her two young children.
