Olha Kovalyova from Derhachi
Join Us We Need Your Help
Good day! My name is Olha Kovalyova. I have my little 7-year-old son, my mother, and my grandfather. My husband does not live with us. We are from the Kharkiv region, the town of Derhachi. February 24 came to us very unexpectedly. The child was going to go to school but never did. We were forced to move out of our apartment and move in with my mother. We lived in a cellar. The child was in pain, his legs were shaking. We sat in the cellar until March 5-6. Then we were forced to leave the town of Derhachi. Our town borders an aggressor country, a terrorist country, it is about 30 km from the border. Planes were flying. Today a plane flew over us and the child told me that her legs are still shaking. We left for Poltava. I want to believe that this will end quickly. We did not go abroad, we live in Poltava. I worked as a teacher, rockets hit our school three times. We did not receive any payments from the Red Cross or UNICEF. We live on social benefits from the state. We rent housing in Poltava, it is very expensive here. My child is sick and I cannot cure him. We went to the doctor, but we need another examination. Medicines are very expensive. Please help us. Thank you.
