What was your life like before...

I worked at the oil mill in my village, 48 years of service at the same workplace.

How does this affect your everyday life?

I am blind, and every morning goes the same way for me: they bring me something to eat, then take me outside, where I can sit for a while and breathe some fresh air.

Your strengths and dreams

What helps me not give up is my children and grandchildren.

What exactly will the funds be used for?

The money will go toward buying firewood for the winter, because firewood is very expensive now.
