Rent aid for Ukrainian family

-- Bogdan's family's situation has changed since the start of the fundraiser, so please see Updates lower on the page --

Hello, i am creating this fundraiser for my friend Melnychuk Bogdan who is forced to stay in Ukraine during the conflict along with his wife Melnychuk Natalia and daughter Melnychuk Yulia.

They dont have money for basic needs like food and are desperate for any help they can get.

Shortly ago a missile hit the power plant very close to where they live which shattered windows and caused no electricity and no water (water is pumped by pumps which requires electricity) for 4 full days.

They currently have NO heat source other than the heat they get from the 4-6 hours of electricity they are given a day, so the only option they have is to put on a lot of clothes and use an oil heater in the short time they have electricity.

Winter will be very difficult, and there is much uncertainty about electricity and water availability in the coming time, and the low temperatures will be a struggle.

Along with aid for basic needs, i would like to ask for help to get Bogdan's family a generator for the winter. Bogdan directed me to a generator from this site: https://www.ecoflow.com/us.They are solar chargeable and dont use gas.

Winter is already here, and this will significantly improve their lives during this rough time.

Thank you for reading, and i hope you will consider helping Bogdan's family, Slava Ukraini

(i will keep posting updates whenever i get news from Bogdan. Btw if you want to connect with him, he streams under the name of netkillerTV on twitch in the limited time that he has electricity @ https://www.twitch.tv/netkillertv )

Update: Bogdan is considering renting an apartment but an electric generator will still be useful. As you know, he currently lives close to a powerplant and theres alot of anxiety with that cause you never know when russians might strike again so he would prefer to live far away from there. He is also dealing with dampness and mold along with the low temperatures in his current place and his daughter has nervous shocks and is sick for the 5th time in three months caused by all of these factors. In a rented apartment there is always warmth and he estimates rent + utilities will be 200-250 dollars / month. An electric generator is useful for when there is power outages but after he showed me the exact model i realize theyre a bit more expensive than previously mentioned. If we reach the full goal, that should be enough to cover the family for the whole winter. I thank everyone from the family.
