After I was expelled from Belarus together with a group of political prisoners in December 2025, I tried to rebuild my life from scratch. But this spring, an injury set me back, and now I need support.

Like many Belarusians, Aliaksei Filimonau found himself in exile because of his civic stance. In 2020, he worked at the Minsk Tractor Works, took part in strikes and peaceful protests, and was detained for it. In 2021, fearing criminal prosecution, he left for Poland together with his family.
Anna is 46 years old. She has three children. For making donations, she was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

Vladislav Yatsenko was imprisoned in 2022 for supporting Ukraine. Now in exile, he wants to start his own business and work as a tattoo artist, just as he did before his arrest. However, this requires a significant investment that he currently cannot afford.
Yevgeny Skochko is someone people remember from the late 1990s. One of the leaders of the “Malady Front,” he was bright, charismatic, and courageous. He organized street protests, for which he was detained and faced criminal prosecution back in the days when Belarusian society was only beginning to learn how to resist dictatorship.
Kirill and Karolina left Belarus for Lithuania after Kirill was sentenced to three years of “khimiya with assignment” in the “Hajun case.” Karolina has multiple sclerosis, and because of her health condition, she could not have survived four years without her husband. The couple is asking for support until they can work independently.
Alexander Kravchuk from Kobryn is 57 years old. After arrest, a correctional facility, and deportation from Belarus, he and his daughter were left without means of subsistence. Alexander urgently needs a leg prosthesis replacement, as well as money to live on.
