Help Honor Semyon's Final Wish
Donation protected
My name is Natasha, and I am raising funds on behalf of my good friend, Olena Sappa, who tragically lost her father Semyon Nemchonok to cancer on 6/16/24. Semyon was unexpectedly diagnosed with a rare and extremely aggressive type of cancer about 5 weeks ago. Unfortunately, treatment did not improve his condition or prolong his life. He fought very hard till the end and his family would like to honor their father’s life. His wishes are to be cremated and buried next to his wife in Ukraine. Any contribution is welcome, and we appreciate your efforts to help bring him home where he can rest in eternal peace.
Semyon was a refugee from Ukraine who was a teacher and made a difference in many of his students’ lives.
