Help a Kiwi Out

Auckland

All I want to do is help, but I don’t know how!!!! Who feels like this??? As I watch the news of the disgraceful events happening in Ukraine Yuliya’s parents (in there 70’s) and were hiding in the cellar to scared to turn on the lights in case of Russian troupes. Yuliya has left her small family in NZ and travelled to Poland to help her parents escape from outside of Kyiv and bring them home safely. PLEASE if anyone can contribute to help this very caring beautiful family make their way back to NZ with as little ease as possible please contribute!!

There home!!!  29 March 2022

We’ve just heard that Yuliya and her parents have made it back to NZ today!

After more than a month of anguish, stress and fear that I’m sure is a lot more than we can imagine, they’ve made it!

I’m sure it will take the family some time to relax and embed themselves back into life in Auckland/NZ and when the time is right, Yuliya will return to work.

We would like to thank you all for your very kind and generous donations to the Give-A-Little cause and this will take some stress away from the $20k plus the family has had to absorb. Please continue to share and mention the page to family and friends as the page does not close for another week it would be awesome if we could raise a little more.
