Hello! My name is Polina, I'm a student from Ukraine. My friend who fled the war to America in 2022 is getting married. This is a very significant event for us 2 because we have passed fire and water together over the past 12 years of friendship. War introduced us, and it separated us again. We haven't seen each other since she left in 2022, we've always supported each other. She sent me food from the other side of the world when we were on the verge of poverty. The wedding gives me a chance to come to her in America and be around even a little but close. My financial capabilities do not allow me to pay for the trip in full. My scholarship doesn't exceed $1,000 a year, my parents are willing to help me a little bit, but it's still a very large amount for us. I haven't traveled or left Ukraine since 2021, and I don't want to miss this opportunity. Please help me follow my dream and meet my friends. 

 Sorry for the mistakes, I write through an translator.
