Join Us We Need Your Help
Hello! My name is Viktoriya. I ask for your help. I have 3 children and 3 sons. The youngest son is 7 y.o., the middle son is 11 y.o. and the oldest one is 16 y.o. On February 24, the war began. I lost my job, I lost everything. I want to ask for help for the children. The war took everything from us. I am a single mother. When the war started, we were very shocked. Cluster bombs, planes, rockets over our house. Our house is damaged. The rocket also hit the house opposite, we were thrown back by the blast wave, and we fell. Kharkiv has experienced a lot. We live in Saltivka, it is a “red zone”. At first, we hid in the basements of kindergartens, but we realized that this cannot happen anymore. We returned home. We will be at home because this is our home, this is our city. We don’t want to leave anywhere. We are asking for help.
After February 24, everything changed for us. We live like a powder keg. No salary, no work. Before the war, I worked constantly, I loved my work. Without this job, I feel like something important has been taken away from me. Before the war, I worked as a cook in a restaurant. Children reacted to the war very strongly, they cried and were afraid. The child began to stutter. The other child was withdrawn. The older child understood everything. But these are children, you have to understand how they react to it. Sons – Makar, Ivan, Danylo. We did not receive any help. Before the war I was making good money, now I have lost my profit. We live in Kharkiv, in a hot spot. Most of all, help is needed for food, clothing, and shoes for children. I see the future of Ukraine as a happy one. Everything will be fine with us. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes.
