Last month, Andrii Vursichenko broke both his arms and wrist in a devastating fall.

“On May 25th, my father Andrii Vursichenko fell from the ladder while helping a family. And both his wrists were shattered as a result of him landing on a concrete surface. His hands are really, seriously damaged,” said Angelina Vursichenko.

Andrii Vursichenko is a minister from Ukraine.

He is here on a religious visa and cannot receive any government benefits.

“Doctors want to keep him under close watch. So he will stay in the hospital. He’s in a lot of pain now and he will need more surgeries,” said Angelina Vursichenko.

Now, there is a GoFundMe to help the Vursichenko family during this difficult time.

“Your help is really important to us now and will be God’s answer in our life. Thank you,” Angelina Vursichenko concluded.
