Join Us We Need Your Help
Good day everyone! My name is Olena. My family and I live in the town of Voznesensk, the Mykolayiv region. I want to tell you how we survive this difficult time for the whole country. The morning of February 24 started for us with a phone call. My brother called me and said that rockets are flying, explosions are heard everywhere, and the war has started. It was hard to believe, but closer to 9 in the morning everything fell into place. The worst thing for us began on March 2, when the authorities informed us that the enemy was 20 km from our town. We realized that we have nowhere to run and no time. We have 3 children: two girls – Hanna is 15 years old, and Daria is 10 years old, also my son Artem is 8 years old. It was scary for the children. Children were more afraid than anyone. They did not leave the basement even when it was quiet and no explosions or shots were heard. Our town survived, but the destruction and unemployment are huge problems. My husband also lost his job because the company he worked for can no longer pay employees and pay taxes for them. We work on temporary jobs. Prices are rising. Children want to eat. So we ask for your help, if you have the opportunity, we would greatly appreciate it. Now our life is very difficult, we are very scared, we are afraid even to go somewhere. We hope that everything will be fine, we believe in our army, and we believe in our guys who are bringing victory closer every day. We hope that everything will be fine. Thank you for your attention!
