Aldona is asking for our help once again. She is Lithuanian, born and raised in Latvia, but married a Ukrainian. Due to her son’s health problems, doctors had recommended a southern climate, so 45 years ago the family moved to her husband’s homeland, Ukraine. Initially, they planned to stay for a year or two until their son recovered, but life took a different turn, and they ended up staying permanently.
The family lived in a small town in the Mykolaiv region near the Black Sea until the cruel Russian invasion of Ukraine. It was unimaginable. Aldona could not believe it even when rockets were already flying over the town. When one struck their yard, Aldona, her husband, and their beloved large, beautiful dog Gina fled to Moldova, hoping the war would soon end and they could return home. But that did not happen. Aldona’s brother, who lives in Liepāja, invited them to come to Latvia. Aldona is grateful for all the help and support she has received as a refugee, but she also has to fight for her own health.
Fifteen years ago, Aldona was diagnosed with a thyroid tumor, which was successfully treated, but a few years ago it recurred. She began treatment again in Ukraine. Last year, a medical council in Latvia prescribed expensive medication, only partially covered by the state, which she was able to obtain thanks to help from others. The medication is very effective, so the council prescribed it again. This year, the state compensation is higher, but even so, Aldona cannot afford the medication without the help of others. She needs EUR 1928,59 per month to purchase the medication, with the full treatment course costing EUR 13500,13. Her family does not have such funds, so she is asking for the help of others. Let’s help Aldona!
