Recipient story
Ukrainian mum, with young son, has been diagnosed with cancer. Previously lost her husband to cancer
GIVIT
Christmas 2025
This mother has immigrated from the Ukraine three years ago with her family.
Sadly she lost her husband a year ago to lung cancer. After his death she herself was diagnosed with ocular melanoma. Treatment has prevented her from working as a barber and government assistance is not available due to her visa status.
She has a young son who has already lost one parent and is doing everything she can to provide for him throughout her own treatment journey.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
