“Woman for woman” is a platform launched by the NGO “Women’s Perspectives” aimed at helping women in crisis. We publish stories from their perspective since no one can tell her story better than the woman herself.
We are enhancing the voice of women in crisis so that their stories could reach those who are able to help.

Valentina,

57

I live in the frontline village of Kostyantynivka. I am 57 years old and have a disability of the 2nd group. I was admitted to the hospital with a tumor in gynecology, and they also discovered diabetes. I am in very poor health; I have had two surgeries on my legs, where my joints were replaced with endoprostheses. I walk with a cane. I live very modestly on a pension of 2,700 UAH. Currently, my hospital expenses are 500-700 UAH per day. I don’t know what to do when the money runs out.

Victoria,

I have stage 4 cancer with metastases. I have undergone 24 courses of chemotherapy, which led to tumor necrosis. Surgery is not possible. I take medication daily and receive a chemotherapy injection every 28 days. This drug was provided by the cancer center, but it has been unavailable for the past three months. I cannot afford to buy it myself, as it costs from 12,000 UAH, while my pension is only 2,980 UAH. I am raising my 11-year-old son on my own. I am sincerely asking for help—I need to live for my son’s sake.

Inna,

I am from the town of Ukrainsk in the Donetsk region. On September 3, 2024, we were evacuated in just slippers and shorts from our apartment, which was hit by a shell. It was completely destroyed, and the town is under occupation. I, along with my three children, have settled in Dmytrivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where we are renting a house. We are in critical need of coal and firewood for heating, as well as clothes, food, and financial support.

Raisa,

71

I am a 71-year-old sick and lonely woman. I live in Sloviansk, 40 km from the front line. Every day there are terrifying shellings, but I have neither the strength nor the health to go down to the basement. I was paralyzed due to encephalitis of the brain membranes. I have undergone surgery to remove my gallbladder, broken my arm, and I need kidney surgery. Almost my entire pension, which is 4,000 UAH, goes toward medicine. But I still need money to live on. The gas in my house was cut off due to unpaid bills, and life is very difficult.

8 months ago, my husband went missing at war. There is still no news of him. I live with my three daughters (5, 9, and 14 years old). We are internally displaced persons (IDPs), and our home in the Donetsk region was destroyed.This summer, a tragedy occurred: a swing hit my daughter, causing a skull fracture. She needs surgery to implant a plate. I work, but the job is poorly paid, and the money is barely enough for rent and food. It’s very hard to survive.

Angela,

I am a mother of five children. In September 2022, a shell hit our yard, killing my husband. Then, in May 2024, we were evacuated from our home village in Donetsk region due to the occupation. We left with only the clothes on our backs. On top of everything, I have rheumatic heart disease and require daily medication. We are currently renting a place in Oleksandriia. I am in despair and don't know what to do next... We're starting life from scratch.

We were a perfect family from the outside. When the child has grown a bit, I was planning to get a job. It was then that the things went downhill.
