My Travel Story

Help children who have experienced the horrors of war to undergo psychological rehabilitation  and return to normal life!
Dear Sirs
My name is Ludmila Bohun. I was forced to leave my hometown of Chernigov, Ukraine with my two children during the height of the war. My children, aged 9 and 17, witnessed all the horrors of war and suffered serious psychological trauma.
Our city was bombed by planes and rockets were launched at homes. We spent terrifying days and nights in the basement of our home during air raids. My children saw homes destroyed by rockets and residents killed in the city. During breaks between air raids, we stayed in our apartment without heating, electricity, and water, and were in a semi-starvation state due to lack of food.
Our evacuation from the besieged city was under machine gun fire, and it's only a miracle that we survived it all. My older son's primary illness, muscular weakness (he's a disabled child), worsened after the shock he experienced. My younger son started having constant headaches.
Currently, my children are undergoing therapy with a psychotherapist. The doctor advised me to organize some kind of trip or entertainment for the children, where they could experience bright positive emotions. These emotions will help to displace all negative memories and help them forget the horrors of war as soon as possible.
In our opinion, the best option for such psychological rehabilitation would be a cruise, which would allow the children to see different countries, relax at sea, and participate in various activities, in other words, to get bright impressions. This would help their psychological rehabilitation and improve their health
However, we do not have the money to buy such a cruise, so I am asking for help from people who care. The required amount for two children and their mother is $14,000. CAD.
I am begging for your financial support! Any amount, big or small, is of great value to us. I believe in your kind hearts and hope for your donations. Thank you in advance to all compassionate people!

Sincerely,
Ludmila
