Please consider helping me and my husband 🫂

My husband has been unable to work since the beginning of the war (due to conscription), and once we used up our savings, we had to take a credit.

Prices have risen 300-600% during the past 3, soon 4 years, and I cannot afford my medication nor checkups for my health issues.

We are at a point where we cannot take anymore credit, and we can't pay the interest for the credit we have already taken.

We are about to lose our apartment, and if the authorities get involved as they will when they take it from us, my husband will be sent to war. He's a 34 year old autistic, very kind man, who can't possibly fare in a war.

Please consider helping us, from the bottom of our hearts, this is our absolute last resort. The debt is $7100, but I obviously don't expect to raise anything near that. If we can raise just $1000, it will already be a HUGE relief, as it will buy us time before we lose the apartment. Every day is valuable, as we continue to try to get the money, and we each have our projects and are working on it every second of every day.

$5 dollars alone could be a huge help if everyone would do it, so if you have just $5 to spare, please consider taking the time to help us.

It means everything to us, and could quite literally be the difference between life and death for my husband.

I love you all. 🫂 ♥

It has recently come to my attention that some people who don't know me from interacting on SW previously, are interested in helping, but don't know whether or not I am real, as there has been many scams surrounding the situation in Ukraine.

I have assembled this list of proof, and I might continue to add to it as I go along. I will obviously not be posting a picture of my passport for everyone on the internet to see, but I can take more videos and pictures for ya'll if you request it. If so, please do it in a separate message, so that this thread stays clear to everyone else.

1. These are posts in which I have discussed the situation with my husband and conscription, for a year now at this point. I made the GFM page very recently, on November 25th, 2025:

2. I have been taking and sharing pictures from Ukraine since I moved here in 2018:

This is my MIL crying while looking at the pictures of fallen soldiers at Novovolynsk city councill:


2. This is a video in which I recorded the sound of the air raid alerts early in the morning, and it also includes me and my husband saying a few words to each other:


3. This is my husband telling a person here from SW, who shall remain anonymous, that we are indeed in Ukraine (in Ukrainian):


Again, please do not respond directly to this post. If you have questions or concerns, please start a new comment thread.

Love and Gratitude,
Alicia. 🩵 💛



Disclosure: The GFM page is created by my friend who lives in Dayton, Ohio. This is why the address on my GFM page says Dayton, OH. It is not currently possible to create a GFM page in Ukraine, therefore my friend made it for me. He will be the person who eventually withdraw the money, and then send the money to me via PayPal or another method. I would like to assure everyone that I trust this friend completely, as he has been helping me for over a year now. ♥[/b]

The picture of me on the GFM page itself, is a real photo of me. I won't be proving that publicly by uploading selfies, but I can prove that to the organization itself, and the SW admins (who also have my Ukrainian IP address).




Is there any way I can help if I can't donate monetarily?
I am really sorry for the things you are going through. I am also neurodivergent and I can understand so deeply that war must be a disaster for your husband . I am really sorry dear .

@AudhdGirldeterminedtoSucceed It's been tough on him, but he's doing alright. A thing which can potentially help a lot, is to share this post. It's also really nice to see support from other neurodivergent people, because I don't think everyone really understand him. ♥
@Nightwings I will try to do my best. You are not alone 🫂. Things will change. You all deserve the best . 💜

Nightwings · F
@Gamerking If you wish to donate, you can do so via my GFM page: https://gofund.me/6a17cd017

There should be a button there saying "donate now" or something akin to that. 😊

Thank you so much for considering donating. 🫂 ♥

Why is your husband not in the army?

Is he disabled?

Is he mentally incapacitated?
SchoolBelle · 61-69, F
@Nightwings In what way is he not mentally suited to fight for his country?
Nightwings · F
@SchoolBelle How can I explain this to a person who does not experience the same? Why should I discuss my husband's private matters in detail, in ways that could embarrass him, for everyone to see? I have written that he is autistic, and that is all have to say about that. He is smart in many ways, but he is not the type of person you would want in this situation.

@SchoolBelle I have been thinking since I read your replies, and here is what some people don't understand. My husband, and every other man in hiding in Ukraine (as most are), don't deserve this even if they are mentally and physically fit. It is not a movie, these are real people. This war is not like in a first world country, when you go to another part of the world with equipment ten times better than the enemy, and receive training before facing the real situation. Nearly everyone who gets conscribed to the Ukrainian army dies. They don't get to decide where they go, everyone is needed on the front lines. They will lie in a ditch and shoot blindly into the void, holding a gun in their hands for the first time. They have lives, they have futures and plans, and one day this terrible thing happens, and now you think they should give everything up? The fact that you are a woman saying this to a man who doesn't have a choice, when you will always have choice, is appalling sexism. You are also a cuddled and privileged person from a country that does not have conscription. You would probably say it's tragic when women die in the bombings, yet you think men should go shower in bombs to look heroic? No, when bad things happen people try to survive, obviously. The conscription is far more dangerous than the bombs that fall around us. Ukraine is completely outnumbered and never had a chance to defend herself from Russia. People only get one life, and no one deserves to die young, whether it's from cancer or from war. You talk like there is good and bad death, but all death is bad. My husband will live a long life, achieve his goals and dreams, and die comfortably at home when he's old, just like the men in your country gets to do. While some people like my husband are more vulnerable than others, no young person with zero military training is fit to throw away their life and die in a ditch.
