Escaping the war: Help a Ukrainian family & their cat reach safety

Hi everyone. We are family from Ukraine.

For the past four years, our lifes like the lives of millions of Ukrainians has been a non-stop nightmare of air raid sirens, missile strikes, and constant uncertainty. Throughout all this time, we tried our best to stay in my homeland, work, and hold onto hope. But the relentless stress, sleepless nights in bomb shelters, and endless fear have completely drained me.

We've reached a point where we simply cannot take it anymore. We just want to feel safe, sleep through the night without fear, and build a peaceful future. We have finally gathered the courage to make the hardest decision of our lives, is to leave Ukraine and start over from absolute scratch in a safe country.

We are not making this journey alone. By our sides is our loyal furry baby, a cat Chips. He has survived every heavy attack with us, trembling in our arms during explosions, and served as our emotional anchor. We could never leave him behind; he is our family, and keeping him safe is our priority.

Relocating abroad as a young Ukrainian family on its own is a massive financial hurdle that we cannot handle alone. All of our family savings have been completely exhausted over these years just trying to survive the war.

We truly need your help to make this escape to safety possible. The funds raised will be spent strictly on:

Safe travel tickets across borders for us and our cat;

Pet clearance, international veterinary passports, and microchipping;

A deposit for a modest place to stay and basic necessities for the first few weeks while we settle down and secure a job.

Every single dollar and share of this campaign brings us closer to a peaceful, safe sky. Thank you so much for your kindness and for supporting Ukrainians during these dark times!
