Good afternoon, my name is Tetyana. My family consists of me, my two daughters, aged 6 and 8, and my husband.
It so happened that the war found our family scattered in different cities. On February 23, I went to an international medical conference in Truskavets. The children were at their grandmother’s house in Volnovakha at that time, and my husband stayed at home in Mariupol.

When we found out that the war had started, I tried to get to Mariupol to my children’s and my husband’s home, but it was already quite difficult to travel. I tried to get to Mariupol for three days, but there was no way to get to Mariupol, trains were no longer running there, the only thing I could do was to get to Donetsk region.

All this time, when Volnovakha was stormed, the children were leveled to the ground, hiding in the basement. They slept on sacks of potatoes.

When my husband was able to leave Mariupol, he picked me up and we went to take the children again. Now we are in Chernivtsi, a rather calm region. I receive a disability allowance from the state and try to work, although not full-time. Now we rent a house in Chernivtsi, which is quite expensive, so most of our income goes to paying for housing, and the biggest problem now is getting the children to school. My younger daughter is going to the 1st grade.
I hope that this will not happen again. My biggest fear is probably to go through it all again. We are IDPs ourselves, not just from Mariupol, but from Donetsk. After 2014, we had to leave our home there and move out. We have just bought an apartment in Mariupol and now we have to leave everything again. We are living in other people’s houses.

I hope this will never happen again! I dream that our Ukraine will always be free, independent and united!
