Elena is a hard working Ukrainian girl living in Turkey. She has been sending regular money to her mother in Ukraine to be able to escape the war and join her and they have managed to save $3000 so far for her relocation, but no one would help her mother move. So, last week she travelled to Kiev to help. On the second day she was there a Russian missile struck nearby before they could get to a shelter and both were injured, Elena critically. In hospital she is in intensive care with free medical attention and medicines. There is a sharp fragment of shrapnel very close to her Aorta and if it moves slightly it will puncture her heart and she will die. The doctors say that an operation is required immediately. This can only be performed by an EU surgeon with special equipment and the cost is $10,000. Her mother is in desperation and has only the $3000 saved and some Jewellery she is trying to sell. The banks are not lending any money with the ongoing war. So, another $7000 is needed urgently, around £5,500. Anything that you would care to donate here to try to save Elena's life would be very much appreciated. I hope that between us, we can do something in time.
