Hello! This is the BYSOL fundraising team. Unfortunately, we cannot share many details about the person for whom this fundraiser is being launched, because he is now in prison and all his family members are in Belarus. But he needs your support.
Our applicant is about forty. In the summer of 2024, he was imprisoned for helping other Belarusians: he delivered prison care packages to political prisoners. The authorities called this “financing extremism.” During a search, the family was deprived of more than 5,000 euros – almost all their savings.
Before his arrest, he worked in private companies and was considered a good specialist. Now his wife and daughter are left alone: they have to raise money for a lawyer, medicine, and regular prison care packages. This costs several hundred euros per month. The prisoner suffers from vision and blood pressure problems, and after many months behind bars, his condition only gets worse. The family is in a state close to desperation.
We are launching this fundraiser at the request of the prisoner’s family so they are not left alone with this hardship. Every contribution is a sign that they are not alone.
Fundraising goal:
€3600
€600 – 2 prison care packages
€1000 – lawyer’s services
€2000 – family support
