Hello, we are a family from Zaporizhzhia. The war started for me when I was pregnant with my daughter Anna.

I was in the maternity hospital on a precautionary basis and on February 24, I woke up to the loud sound of a military plane. I realized that something was wrong, I did not evacuate at that time because my health condition did not allow me to travel on these crowded occupation trains, did not allow me to go through such a difficult journey on my own, I mean, by car or by bus, because I could lose my child, and I really did not want that. So Varvara and I stayed in Zaporizhzhia. We moved to my parents’ house because at that time I was no longer in contact with my husband, I was not living with him, and now we live with my parents. They are retired. I am waiting for breastfeeding to end and I am looking for a job, I will go to work, but at the moment it would be a very significant help for us, because I simply have nowhere to get this money.

We live 30 kilometers from the front line, we hear shelling every day and today we heard it too. We hear explosions in our city, something flies in regularly, and I can’t say that we have adapted. It’s scary every day.

I believe that we have already experienced the worst with our children, I try to build their childhood in such a way that they are happy here and now we are waiting, not putting off life for later. That’s why we hope for help, because it will significantly improve our living conditions in our hometown of Zaporizhzhia. My eldest child is 6 years old and her name is Varvara, my second child, who was born during the war, is 1 year old.
The next question is, how do you see the future of Ukraine? Without war!
