Olena Ivashchenko from Slovyansk
Good day! We are immigrants from the town of Slovyansk, the Donetsk region. We hope that you will have the opportunity to help us. This war, which began on February 24, is simply a horror. We lived quietly, worked, the child went to kindergarten, and we planned for the child to go to school on September 1, but the child’s education began only online. We moved in April. We stayed in the town for a month, listening to constant explosions. When the rocket fell 200 meters from our house, the child was outside at that time. He was very scared. The next day we left the town. We do not receive humanitarian aid. We are told that the grocery sets are no longer available. We understand everything, money is running out, and volunteers are exhausted. We receive social benefits as displaced persons, but it is not enough for us for a month, groceries are expensive, and we have to pay utilities. If you have a chance, please help us. We need to pay utilities for the last months. I am looking for a job online as I have to look after a child. I haven’t found a job yet. We ask for your help. We hope that soon the war will end and we will return home. I wish everyone peace!
