What was your life like before...

Before the war I had a husband, he worked, and I was on maternity leave, and I still am, but he abandoned me and the children at such a hard time, when there is no work in the village and prices are sky-high, and I have 7 children; the child benefits are not nearly enough, and my husband doesn't help.

How does this affect your everyday life?

The morning starts with an air raid alert, and now it has become hard to find anything to cook for the children and to get them off to school and kindergarten; before, things were not as hard as they are now.

Your strengths and dreams

I believe the war will end and everything will be fine. My children inspire me, I am proud of them, they are my life.

What exactly will the funds be used for?

I will spend the funds only on the children: food, clothes, hygiene items. I am very grateful to you for your help.
