Me and my family, my children… We happen to live in the occupied territory.
After February 24, we could not move anywhere. My eldest daughter went to Poland, and my two children and I stayed behind.
That day, in the morning, when the explosions happened, we were very scared, we thought it would not happen until the last moment. But it happened…
And after February 24, there was complete chaos. There was no food, no bread, we didn’t know what to do. We live in a village, we were afraid to go to the city because there was a lot of equipment and weapons there. We hid our children, so we waited until spring. Then we survived until the summer… God bless those people who helped us, the Red Cross sent us help.
The worst thing was when they started taking children to school. In September, many children went to school, but we did not let ours go. They were locked up and stayed at home from September to February. In February, when the searches of houses started, we were afraid that our children might be taken away. We let them go to school, but there was no learning, only propaganda that there were benders… The children were upset, but they had to go to school. We are waiting for the armed forces and our liberation, but here they are forcing us to take Russian passports.
We need money for gas in cylinders and clothes for the children, the prices for everything are high here. Therefore, we need help for basic necessities.
We want the armed forces to come and liberate us as soon as possible. We want to have a prosperous Ukraine, and we are looking forward to everyone coming home.
Most of all, I am afraid that my children may be taken away. I am very grateful to you!
