Join Us We Need Your Help
Hello, we are IDPs from Donetsk region. The war came to us in early March. For more than a month we were sitting in the basement, we had no electricity. In early April, my husband, child and I decided to move 20 kilometers away to Donetsk region to stay there for a while, my mother and grandmother stayed behind and many other people stayed. But then they started shooting even more, so we left for Zaporizhzhia. I took my mother and grandmother out on a motorbike on April 25, because it was very scary, there was a lot of shooting and tanks in our village. In early May, a shell hit our house and it burned down. We were told by people who were nearby that our village was gone, everything was completely destroyed. There is no one there, it was occupied for almost a year, and 3-4 months ago it was de-occupied, but it is impossible to live there. We have nowhere to go back to. This is our story.
