Maryna Shevchenko from Kamyanske
Join Us We Need Your Help
Good day! My name is Maryna Shevchenko. I have 2 children. Sasha is 8 years old and Danylo is 18 years old. We are from Dnipro. I was engaged in my business for 8 years, but the war came. In the morning we woke up from powerful explosions, and we did not understand anything. The children did not go to school, they were scared and did not know what had happened. Every day they hid from the bombs and fled to the basements. I helped our military, brought food and clothes, and made “Molotov cocktails”. We took in families with children who no longer had a home. But every day my child’s condition worsened. My daughter had a hard time. I was forced to leave the city, leave my home, and my son because he is of legal age and cannot go abroad with me. I left my son with my mother and brother, but that week my brother was taken to the army. Every day we fear for the lives of our brother, son, and mother. This is the worst thing that can happen. Now I live with my daughter in Poland. Here I rent housing at my own expense. The son does not receive any help. Here in Poland, I get zł 500 per child and a zł 100 coupon from the Red Cross for groceries. We are in dire need of financial assistance. We need warm clothes and shoes. It is very difficult for us. The whole world must hear and see that war breaks the lives of all people. I am very afraid of World War III. I want the war to end in Ukraine. I want people to be able to meet their relatives so that no one dies from violence. Thank you.
