Please support our family fleeing war zone in Ukraine

Hi, my name is Natalia and I live in Christchurch with my husband, children, and grandchildren.My mum, my brother, and his family live in Odessa, Ukraine. The situation in Odessa worsens by the day, yesterday the city suffered another rocket attack on the energy infrastructure. All-region were left without electricity, water, and heat. It is wintertime over there and you can only imagine how the people survive without having access to basic resources. With your help and support to cover the travel costs $21,076.24, we will be able to bring our family to New Zealand on refugee visas for two years. Please help us achieve our dream of seeing our family again and keeping them safe come true. It's difficult for us to cover the flight tickets as well as the living costs for the first little while until they get accustomed and can find jobs. We will be immensely grateful for any donations, and any help we can get.

Neave Rohan Ross-Wallace: "My lovely friend Natalia who I met at Uni in 2007 is bringing her family (Mum, brother Hrigori, wife Iryna, daughter Kateryna) from Ukraine to NZ as soon as she can. If you could help in any way or pass this message on, that would be amazing. I met the family a few years ago and they are wonderful, loving generous people who are hoping to come to NZ and feel safe again .Thank you! "
