Inna Kritskalyuk from Zaporizhzhya
Hello! When the war broke out, we woke up to the sounds of fighters flying overhead. The children were very scared. Sirens are often played throughout the war. We are constantly going down to the bomb shelter. The kids are used to it, although they don’t like it. Children are frightened by explosions outside the window. We have two children. The youngest is 2.5 years old, the eldest son is 6 years old. The eldest son has autism, so he experiences siren sounds and explosions harder. I have no job, I am at home with children. The husband worked as an engineer before the war. With the start of the war, he lost his job. We live in our own homes. We do not have enough money to pay for utilities and food. Children need medicine and clothes. We sometimes receive products from local social services and volunteer organizations. For the eldest child, we receive from the state a social payment of 2500 UAH. But this is not enough for a family of 4 people. We want the war to end and peace and prosperity to reign in Ukraine. We want Russia to answer for all its crimes.
