Liliya Bondar from Dnipro
Good day! I want to tell you about what has changed in our lives since the beginning of the full-scale war on February 24. Our life has changed. At 4 in the morning, we woke up to loud explosions. We started to panic, we didn’t know what to do. I was afraid for my life and the lives of family members. It is very scary for the life of every soldier who defends our country, our homeland. I am most afraid of losing my child, for whom we have been waiting for so long. Children do not deserve such a life, a life in constant fear of death when you have not even seen much of life. Many children died or were injured, and many civilians were buried in their homes, in their yards.
There is no work now, we live on social benefits. I am on maternity leave. We need help with food for the child, diapers, and food. We will be grateful for your help. I believe that our Ukraine will change for the better, that this war will end soon, that this suffering will end and everything will be forgotten like a terrible dream. I do not want my children to experience this, they are still young and do not understand anything. Very scary. Now we live in the city of Dnipro. There are explosions here. There is destruction. It is very scary to live and wait for a rocket to fly into our home. We are asking for help for our family. I don’t want my child to know what hunger and fear are. I don’t want anyone to go through what we are all going through, all over Ukraine right now. We are afraid to live and thank God that we woke up today. Thank you.
