Due to possible threats to the security of this family, we chose to unpublish the images identifying the family. The family remains under occupation, and truly needs help.
Hello! My name is Kateryna. When the war started, we were sitting in the basement – me and my 2 children. I lost my job because of the war. Now I am temporarily unemployed, my place of work was bombed. The worst thing was when a shell fell near my house and all the windows broke. Everyone was scared. Children do not sleep well at night, wake up, and are afraid of airplanes, they will need to be taken to a psychologist. The children’s names are Ivan and Illya, they are 10 and 7 years old. We live in the occupied territory, we do not receive any help, and there is no communication, I maintain communication only through Viber. I did not receive help from UNICEF and the Red Cross because I do not meet their criteria. We live in rented accommodation. The children’s father died in 2014, first, he went missing, then he was found and we buried him. I receive social benefits from the state. I have not received other social benefits since February. My children have been living in a state of war for 8 years, I fear that this will continue in the future. Children cannot go to school normally.
