Help Hope Live for Bohdan Smirnov

In 2024, we were able to get the vehicle, although even with the Medicaid conversion we still have a large loan to pay off. Bohdan continues to need serious surgeries to correct his spine and help with his breathing. He needs special food for his feeding tube and the food that is best for him is not covered by our insurance.

As a survivor of domestic abuse, I am a single mother trying to do the best for my son. While non-verbal, Bohdan expresses delight in the little things many of us take for granted like being outside in the sunshine at a local park.

Since the recent war in Ukraine, my mother, sister, brother-in-law and their two small children have joined us in the U.S. as refugees in late 2022. With your help our family can support Bohdan and give him the best life possible.

Won’t you please help keep the American dream alive.

Family and friends of Bohdan Smirnov are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with Catastrophic Illness.

Bohdan has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
