Dear Friends, Allies, and Global Supporters,
The devastating consequences of the Ukraine-Russian war have reverberated throughout the world, sparing none in its path of destruction. Lives have been upended, families torn apart, dreams shattered, and futures placed in jeopardy. Today, we reach out to you with a heavy heart, humbly requesting your assistance for a family that has lost its pillar.
Mark Danilo, a loving father and husband, tragically lost his life in an air strike, leaving behind three young daughters and a grieving wife. Their village of Urozhaine, once brimming with life and community spirit, now stands witness to the deep scars war has inflicted. Mark’s family, in the midst of all this upheaval, finds themselves grappling with a bleak and uncertain future. Without a breadwinner, they are confronted with challenges that no family should have to endure: the prospects of hunger, homelessness, insecurity, and the mental trauma of sudden loss.
His three daughters, aged 11, 7, and 2, have been robbed of a father’s guidance, protection, and love. The dreams and aspirations Mark held for them are now hanging in the balance. With your support, we aim to alleviate some of their immediate challenges, ensuring that his family does not bear the double burden of grief and financial instability.
The Dopomohty Foundation , a reputable and trusted organization, has verified the dire needs of Mark’s family. They have thrown their weight behind our efforts, underscoring the urgency and legitimacy of this cause. Together, our united goal is to raise $32,000 , which will provide essential support to the family in multiple crucial areas.
Here’s where your generous donations will go :
1. Shelter and Accommodation: The funds raised will be used to secure safe, warm, and permanent housing for Mark’s family, ensuring they have a stable environment to process their grief and rebuild their lives.
2. Education and Personal Growth: Education for Mark’s daughters is paramount. A portion of the contributions will be set aside for their schooling, ensuring they have the resources to pursue their academic aspirations and lay a foundation for a brighter future.
3. Nutrition and Health: The trauma of war can have long-lasting health implications, both physical and mental. These funds will ensure regular medical check-ups, psychological counseling, and a steady supply of nutritious meals.
4. Skills and Livelihood Training: Empowering Mark’s wife with skills training will give her the means to become self-sufficient and care for her family in the long run.
5. Savings Fund: A portion will be reserved to create a savings fund for the family, offering them a financial cushion and enabling them to face any unexpected challenges in the future.
The weight of this appeal cannot be adequately captured in words alone. Mark Danilo’s family stands as a representation of countless others affected by the atrocities of war. Yet, within this collective sorrow lies a glimmer of hope, the possibility that with shared effort and compassion, we can make a tangible difference.
We urge you to reflect on our shared responsibilities as global citizens. Embrace this opportunity to play an instrumental role in altering the trajectory of a devastated family’s life.
From our hearts to yours, we deeply thank you for your generosity, empathy, and shared belief in the transformative power of community. Let us come together to remind Mark’s family and countless others like them that in the face of adversity, love and humanity will always prevail.
