The next day, June 5, I honestly just wanted to step away. I thought I’d send a donation and quietly move on. Fundraisers take a lot — emotionally, mentally, logistically. And I wasn’t sure I had the energy, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion I'm still constantly exhausted.
But something about this story stayed with me. I kept returning to it — even when I didn’t want to. Because on some level, it’s familiar. Not the exact details. Not the same life. But the experience — of being afraid, unheard, blamed, isolated — I know what that feels like. Too well 💔.
It brought up things I don’t usually talk about. Things I haven’t processed fully. But I recognized the exhaustion in her voice. The effort it takes to just survive. The way you keep explaining yourself, even when you’ve done nothing wrong — just because you’re afraid no one will believe you. This isn’t just her story. It echoes in mine.
And maybe that’s why I stayed involved. Not because I planned to. But because walking away would have meant walking away from something I know too deeply.
Of course, I’ve never been in her exact situation. But what she’s going through is incredibly hard — and I wanted to help in the one way I could: by organizing a space for others to support her too 🤝
I believe she just needs to get through this season — these next few unstable months — and she’ll find her footing. She’s already done the hardest thing: she left. She stood up to her abuser. That takes extraordinary strength 💪
What moved me most is that she did something I wish had happened in my own family. I grew up in a home where abuse was constant — all forms of it, except sexual. But no one ever left. No one ever called it what it was. So helping her now, walking beside her in this moment, feels like being part of a different ending ✨.
Not mine. But one I believe in.
The pain I carry still shapes how I live. It colors my choices, my relationships, my sense of safety.
And I know — I absolutely know — that what this woman is doing takes more courage than most people will ever understand.
So yes, I want her to get through this. I want her to come out of it with dignity, strength, and a new beginning 🌱.
Because even if I can’t rewrite my own story, I can still be part of someone else’s healing 💛 And I want you to join me in being a part of this story.

Description
🚫 This is an unusual fundraising for me. Not about war, not about the army. This time, it’s about one family. About a situation that feels deeply personal for me, because I’ve lived through domestic violence for many years too. That’s an invisible nightmare behind closed doors — something too many people stay silent about. I’ve never asked for support for something like this before. But right now, this family needs help. And I can’t stay quiet.
👩👧👦 A mother and her two children from Ukraine, now in Poland — a teenage girl and a 2.5-year-old boy with developmental challenges. Doctors still can’t give a clear diagnosis. He cries constantly, cannot be left alone, and she can’t leave the house without him. No car. No public help. Not even a transport pass.
💔 Their father abused his wife for years. Alcohol, drugs, beatings. He even made her beg on her knees for money to buy food for the kids. Now she has a restraining order against him. There’s a court process — a huge and important step toward a normal life outside the cycle of abuse. But trauma doesn’t disappear overnight. She’s alone. In a foreign country. Without refugee status. Without support.
🐶 They also have two dogs. They’re part of the family too. But there’s no food for anyone (I mean literally!).
⏳ She’s waiting for social services, a lawyer, and foundation support for the disabled to step in — but the process takes time. Until then, she’s on her own.
🆘 What’s urgently needed:
– EEG review and neurologist visit: 480 PLN
– Psychoneurologist appointment: 350–600 PLN
– Orthopedic consult: 300 PLN
– Transport pass: 110 PLN
– Food

💸 Revolut: @virale2qv

💳 PLN — BLIK or transfer: 17 1050 1038 1000 0097 4344 1785
🙏 I’ve already sent 500 PLN myself. I can go in person to show it’s real. I have all the documents and medical papers, and I can share them privately. This is not a scam. This is someone’s life. Right now — it’s hanging by a thread.
💪 She never asked for help before. She’s strong and determined. But she can’t do this alone.
📩 Please message me or donate if you want to help. Even a small contribution will provide food, a bus fare, or a visit to the doctor.
🔁 If you can’t donate, please share the link to the fundraising. The more people who see it, the better their chances. Thank you.
🌍 Why this fundraising is in English: A big part of my Ukrainian network understands English. So do my Polish colleagues and friends. That man’s friends — definitely don’t. This story is real, but it’s fragile. I don’t want it to reach the wrong eyes.
📌 I’ll write updates about their progress and needs. It all takes time, so I’m sorry if I publish something with a delay.
