My husband has suffered a second stroke and now requires constant care. I look after him on my own. Our only income is two small pensions: mine is 3,600 UAH and my husband’s is 3,075 UAH. We live in Sloviansk, in an old house that has already been damaged several times by shelling. Every month, most of our money goes toward medicine, and I often have to borrow from neighbors and slowly pay them back. Now we urgently need firewood for the winter. We are in hardship.

In early September, I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer with metastases. The disease requires long-term and costly treatment. I received the first chemotherapy free of charge, but I cannot afford the supportive medications and regular examinations, as all my savings have already been spent on previous tests. I am an internally displaced person from Bakhmut, Donetsk region. With the war, I lost my home; in 2023, my husband passed away, and now I am losing my health and strength. I sincerely ask for your support.

He locked me in the house, threatened to kill me, to throw me off the balcony, and established total control over my every step. This all began after our marriage and my move to his country of residence. He was imprisoned, and I managed to escape to Ukraine with our child, but his lawyers continue to pressure me. I am facing financial difficulties and living in despair and fear that my child will be taken away from me.

I am 83 years old, and this is already the third war in my lifetime. I live in Sloviansk, and recently I came under shelling, when gates and shrapnel flew right above me. The blast wave shattered the windows in my apartment, so I had to live with boarded-up frames. I go down to the store only once every few days. Because of health problems, I need constant medication, which I have to buy myself. There is often not enough money left to pay utility bills — I already have debts. I am in great need of support.

I am a single mother of a 4-year-old son and currently 36 weeks pregnant. I grew up in an orphanage and have always lived in rented apartments. I managed to restore my relationship with my mother, and now we survive thanks to her pension. Unfortunately, my mother is already elderly and has health problems. The biological father of my unborn child went abroad for work and stopped keeping in touch, while the father of my older son never recognized him. Very soon I will have to give birth, but we are left without money.

I am 19 years old and live in Kharkiv with my brothers, aged 14 and 16. We are orphans — our mother passed away in 2022 from cancer. Only last month was I able to obtain official guardianship over my brothers and secure benefits due to the loss of our mother. Until then, I had been working and supporting us on my own since I was 17. We live in a rented apartment, as our home in the city of Vasylivka, Zaporizhzhia region, is under occupation.I am asking for help.
