Yuliya Chornuska from Odesa
Join Us We Need Your Help
– Good evening! My name is Yuliya. I am from Odesa. I have 2 children. My children are 2 years old and 8 years old, their names are Yehor and Lisa. On February 24, explosions rang out in our city, which scared us a lot. We couldn’t understand what was happening. It was scary, we didn’t know where to run because there is no basement in our house where you can hide. We had to spend the night in the church for a month. It was very scary at home. In the church, we saw how a rocket flew by and destroyed an oil depot. We lived like this for a month, then we were forced to leave the city because a rocket flew near our house and killed a 3-month-old girl, her mother, and grandmother. It was very scary, I am very worried about my children. We were forced to move to the Ivano-Frankivsk region. We came here in April. We received social benefits for two months. Then these payments were canceled because we are not from the zone of active hostilities. UNICEF and the Red Cross refused to help us. Here we receive humanitarian aid and free clothes. Foundations help us with food. My husband lost his job. We receive the social benefits of UAH 860 for the child. It is very difficult for us, we need medicine. We pay rent. We ask for your help. We are most afraid for our children and relatives. We believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and our victory. Ukraine will win and everything will be fine. We hope for your help. Thank you for listening to us. We hope you will help us. It is very difficult for us.
– My little brother is very afraid. He was very scared when the rocket arrived. He is afraid of everything.
