UKRAINIAN FAMILY IN NEED
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Elina Grinberg. For many people the war in Ukraine has passed because they do not see it on social media anymore, but the threat is still there and only getting worse. My family is from Dnipro, a city about 300 miles southeast of the Ukrainian capital.
Although my immediate family is safe here in the United States we have to deal with the heartbreak and struggle of watching the rest of our family suffer in Ukraine. My 74 year old grandmother is all alone using her cold basement as a bunker with no one to help if something happens to her. The closest family to my grandmother in Dnipro are my aunt, uncle, and cousin seven hours away in the capital and they aren’t able to get to each other.
Power to their homes is no longer stable and stores have next to no food or supplies. They have all been advised to stay indoors as their cities are frequently being bombed and there is possibility of capture. When the war started my uncle was working for Whirlpool who supplied a company vehicle to all of their employees, but as soon as the war began they quickly pulled all their company vehicles out of the country leaving my uncle with no vehicle. My family has no way to get together or escape on top of having no jobs.
They are quickly running out of food, supplies, and money as nobody can work or receive pension. This war is not over so this has yet to include the extent of damages that will still come from it. Unfortunately, there is no way to get care packages directly to them so money is what would be best to send them for aid. I understand that money is tight for most of us right now but this is a very real situation and anything helps.
For my family in Ukraine every dollar would help as news stories that you see have a very real impact on their life. So I’m asking you as my friends if you’re able, please help as this could very easily be any one of us someday.
