Seeds of Hope: Planting Food Security in War Torn Ukraine

Invest in Yulia’s education, her mind will soar beyond the current conflict. Yulia is a Ukrainian university student in a small village in far eastern Ukraine. Her family lives about 10 miles from the front lines in the war with Russia. Before Russia invaded Ukraine in an unprovoked attack, Yulia and her family were successful farmers in their village. They had dairy cows and sold the milk for income. They had hogs and slaughtered pigs to sell their meat for income. They harvested many crops that not only fed their family, but many families in the village. Times were good. The future was bright.   When Russia attacked in February of 2022, they came to her village. They decimated homes and killed villagers just because. Yulia’ a family was not exempt from the tragedy. Russia killed all their cows, hogs, and burned their crops. They destroyed their home and tractor. Her family has no way to generate income to make a living. They have been able to renovate the old pig slaughterhouse to make a one and a half bedroom living space for her and her parents.   Despite all of the challenges she has faced over the past two years, Yulia’s resolve has been unshakable. She has graduated high school. She has completed her associate’s degree with honors. She wants to continue her education in English teaching, but has ZERO internet at her home anymore. Russia has destroyed that capability. Her phone internet is spotty and unreliable. She cannot go to a brick and mortar school because logistically it is impossible.   Let’s help Yulia in this time of distress. We are raising support to get her a Starlink system so that she can get the internet from her house whenever she needs it. We also want to raised support to cover the cost for the first year. The Starlink system will cost around $600 USD and service for a year in Ukraine is $900 USD for the year.   We need to raise $1500.   Can you help?
