How does it work?
The day before her birthday, Ada Rohovtseva shared a post on social media about her brother-in-law's siblings, who are volunteer doctors. During a military evacuation, he sustained injuries, and his vehicle was engulfed in flames after being targeted by an enemy drone.
"Now that Mykyta is in the hospital thank goodness the injury isn't too serious. Thankfully, all the people he was helping were safely rescued and brought out alive! We're now collecting donations to help purchase a car for Dr. Mykyta while he recovers," Rohovtseva said.
The actress shared in her post that she encourages those attending her play "It Looks Like Happiness" on July 16th not to spend money on flowers for her.
Instead, she requested to donate money for a car for combat medics.
"Don't bring flowers, please! Your flowers should grow to help combat medics.
And everyone who wants to congratulate me – please! A donation for a car for combat medics is the best gift for me on my 87th birthday!" the actress wrote.
The actress also shared that she will perform in a coat with a fox collar in such heat. Despite the difficult conditions, Ada Rohovtseva is sure that playing a play in a coat, even at the age of 87, is easier than fighting in a bulletproof vest and helmet.
Her words served as an additional reminder of the importance of supporting combat medics who risk their lives on the front lines every day.
