Zakhar(2), Nazar (8), and Angelina(16) became orphans in 2022 when their mother passed away unexpectedly. Raised by a single mother in poverty they did not get anything to inherit.  Their aunt Oksana and her husband Stas made the commitment  to  become their legal guardians but  unfortunately do not  have living arrangements large enough to fit everyone as by the local laws you need to be  able to provide a separate bedroom for each child in order to become a legal guardian. Oksana and Stas have reached out to us in January asking for help as Zakhar, Nazar, and Angelina were about to get sent to an orphanage.

Lena  has travelled to Ukraine  to  meet with  the family and after some research we have commited to help.

Oksana and Stas have found a house for sale at a very modest price. They said they like the location, the size of the house, and the outside walls.  The rest requires major renovations which Stas says he can do the majority of himself. Big Dreams is purchasing this house for  them in May of  2023. We still would like to be  able to send some more money to them to help with renovations and really count on the team effort raising the necessary amount.
