Sergey and Elena Khvostenok moved from Belarus to Poland with their two daughters 2.5 years ago due to political persecution. In exile, Sergey suddenly developed extremely high blood pressure, and doctors delivered shocking news — his kidneys had failed. To save her husband’s life, Elena made a courageous decision: to donate one of her own kidneys.

Ilya was under political persecution in Belarus for many years as an activist of the “Young Front.” The pressure intensified in 2020, forcing him to leave for Poland. For years, he earned his living as a breakdance instructor, but a serious knee injury earlier this year left him without any income.
