I am 55 years old. In 2020 I spent 22 days in a punishment cell without hygiene products. For 10 months I lived illegally in Belarus and could not go to the dentist. Because of this, severe inflammation of gums started and my teeth fell out.
I was forced to evacuate Belarus with the help of BYSOL after repression and criminal prosecution. Need help with transportation for my family, rent, medical assistance, getting my child ready for school, and other emergency departure issues.

After 2 years of colony on the “case of students” I was banned from leaving the country, removing which I received another 30 days of arrest. Now I am undergoing rehabilitation. Your support will allow me to get education and professional skills necessary for successful adaptation in a new country and start my own business.
I was prosecuted and given two years of “chemo”. Because of this I cannot get a job and I am thinking about leaving the country. But in order to do that, I need to close the debts that came up while the trial was going on and I was sitting on Okrestin.
