Nataliya Ipatova from Kyiv
Good day, dears! I want to tell you our story. We are a large family, we are internally displaced persons, we have been living in the Zhytomyr region for 5 months with 3 small children. On the morning of February 24, 2022, we woke up to powerful explosions outside our window. We looked out the window and saw houses on fire. We took the children and ran to the bomb shelter. We stayed there for a day and a half and the youngest child had a fever. We collected all the blankets that were in the bomb shelter, got into the car, and started to leave. We came under fire from enemy rockets on the way out of the city. The child lost consciousness, he was resuscitated in the hospital. We were in the hospital ward for almost 7 days. Now we are in the Zhytomyr region. Residents provided us with temporary housing. They help us with food, products, and medicine. We received aid from UNICEF and social benefits from the state. Now we need financial help. We lost our house, our job. We need help with the treatment and recovery of my children. Local schools are closed, and we need to find a place for children to study. We ask for your help. We believe in the future of Ukraine, we believe that our children will wait for peace, happiness, and prosperity in our country. Thank you.
