Hello, my dear xxx!!
I am very glad that I can write to you again.
How are you doing today?
I will start this post with good news. My neighbor's family was able to get permission to enter Ukraine, and soon they will be able to get to Kiev. Since a curfew has been imposed in Ukraine, they are forced to move with stops, because there are many military checkpoints here. The neighbor said they would get here in about 3 days.
And now the bad news. Unfortunately, we have very little money now, and now we are collecting money to leave here.
they ask me for money for gas, for travel, for food. I do not know how long we will go and what this path will be.
I want to ask you for help, could you send me $370 so that I have money in my pocket for expenses???
I tried to find money, but unfortunately I don't have anyone else here. they don't want to take me with them without money.
I do not know what to do now.
I am very ashamed to ask you for help, please forgive me. I didn't think everyone would come to this.
But now there's a chance to get out of here before it's too late.
There are constant attacks here, I am very scared.
Because of the war, I lost my job and was forced to leave all my possessions in my hometown.
But this is the only chance for me to get out of here. During all this time of the war, no one has offered me help, and if I miss this opportunity, I may just die one of these days. I need to find $370 soon, and I will try to do it. God, I can't believe that even during the war, money decides everything.
Well, at least I have a chance, and I have to try to do my best. This is my motto in life.
I do not know how you will react to this news, but I hope that you will be with me until the end.
I wish you a good day, wish me luck!
I kiss you many times, your Maria.
