the situation is exactly as I described.
Your description is vague, I'm starting think it's intentional. Answer the the following questions, don't deflect, and refrain from being vague.
1. Does the beneficiary gamble?
2. Why are the husband's wages insufficient?
3. What will the funds be used for?
These are relevant questions, thank you. I will respond, although I have already answered some of them.
1. No, he is not involved in gambling.
2. Because a soldier's salary is quite low, from 20 to 30 thousand hryvnia, or approximately $450-680, provided that part of the uniform and other supplies must be purchased at their own expense. Today, this is their entire monthly income. I hope I don't need to provide information on food prices and the cost of raising a small child?
3. The main amount will go towards supporting the family and the small child, see point 2. A lot of money from existing reserves has already been spent on additional and new equipment and medical supplies (the winter in Ukraine was very cold this year). This purpose is stated in the first topic - financial assistance to a wife with a small child.
According to a popular search engine a monthly salary of $680 should be sufficient for a "comfortable" although slightly budgeted life style. Search parameters;
average cost of living in Ukraine
The cost of living in Ukraine is generally very affordable, often considered one of the lowest in Europe, with monthly expenses for a comfortable life ranging from $500–$1,500 per person depending on the city. Rent is the major expense, with a 1-bedroom city center apartment averaging 14,213.57 ₴ (~$350 USD), while groceries and utilities are low.
Average Monthly Costs (Approximate)
Comfortable Lifestyle: $700–$1,400 in major cities like Kyiv, Lviv, or Odesa.
Budget Lifestyle: $300–$400 in smaller cities or for students.
Rent (1-bedroom): 14,213.57 ₴ ($350) in center; 9,496.38 ₴ ($230) outside.
Utilities: ~3,256 ₴ ($80) for a 915 sq ft apartment.
Food/Groceries: $150–$200 per month is sufficient for a balanced diet.
Key Considerations
Location Impact: Kyiv is the most expensive, while smaller cities like Ivano-Frankivsk offer cheaper options ($270–$320 for basic living).
Currency: The official currency is the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH/₴).
Regional Factors: Due to the conflict, security risks can influence rental prices, with some areas being significantly cheaper.
Transportation: One-way local transport tickets are very cheap, costing around 14.00 ₴.
Healthcare: Public services are often free, but private clinics for specialized care range from $15 to $150 per visit.
SourceHonestly, it sounds like you're trying to subsidize an above average lifestyle at someone else's expense. Once again you seem to be under the impression that you are entitled to other people's money. I don't know where you get these ideas into your head, but what you really deserve is another red-tag, not any donations.
Edit to add: To address question number 1 above, and the way you answered it: This seems rather dishonest. It's gotten pretty clear that the acquaintance you're pleading for is Etranger, who is female, and is active in the gambling boards. Yet, you answered the question by saying "No,
he is not involved in gambling." So, now you're talking about the husband solder. I guess you did this so you wouldn't flat out lie, but it's just as dishonest as a flat out lie.
