Women in need

In 2015, I had a wisdom tooth removed, which led to a severe infection (phlegmon) that later developed into chronic osteomyelitis. I now have a Group II disability and need an expensive surgery to have a metal plate implanted. Due to the long-term use of antibiotics and painkillers, I have also developed liver cirrhosis. I am from Toretsk, Donetsk region. I no longer have a home, as everything was destroyed. Together with my 66-year-old mother, who is a pensioner, two cats, and a dog, I relocated and now rent housing in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Almost all of our money goes toward medication, pet food, and rent. I work whenever I can. I used to work as a janitor, and now I earn a small income by posting advertisements, but it is not enough to cover our living expenses. I kindly ask for help and support.

In May, I underwent surgery for cancer (uterine lymphoma) and am now undergoing long-term medical treatment. I live in rented accommodation in Chernihiv, while my own home remains in the settlement of Opytne, Bakhmut district. I was working, but I am currently on sick leave, and the payments I receive are very small. Because all of my money is being spent on treatment and recovery, I am in great need of assistance. The only close family member I have is my mother, a pensioner who is also an internally displaced person and lives separately in another city. Unfortunately, I have no one else to turn to for help.

I am from the village of Novoselivka, near Kramatorsk. Since May 19, our village has been without electricity and water due to constant shelling. We have nowhere to evacuate to and no money to do so. There are five people in our family: myself, my bedridden grandfather, my grandmother who uses a wheelchair, my 20-year-old brother with autism, and my 54-year-old mother. We also help care for three elderly neighbors. I work at the local market and earn a small salary, while our only other income comes from the pensions of my brother, grandmother, and grandfather. We keep a small household and care for several cats and a dog. In addition to the constant shelling, a major problem is that our generator has broken down. It was our only way to pump water and charge devices for both our family and our neighbors. We urgently need help to purchase a new generator and fuel.

Here is the English translation:It has been 55 days since I last spoke with my husband. He is currently deployed in a combat position. Unfortunately, there has been no information about him so far, and all I am being told is to wait. We live in Zhytomyr and are raising two children: a 3-year-old daughter and a 16-year-old son. I am on maternity leave and have been left without financial support. Unfortunately, I do not have access to my husband's bank card. I kindly ask for help.

I survived the occupation of Kherson and suffered abuse from russian military forces. Later, I came under shelling and sustained serious injuries: a punctured lung, a concussion, and shrapnel wounds.Because of everything I went through, I now suffer from PTSD and constant headaches, and I have to take antidepressants and painkillers on a regular basis. I previously owned a small business, but now I am registered with the employment center and, due to my health condition, I am unable to work full-time.I am raising my 16-year-old son on my own. We live in Odesa and are forced to rent housing. Our financial situation is very difficult, so I kindly ask for support.

On March 14, a guided aerial bomb struck near our house, and the blast wave damaged our home (the windows were blown out, the balcony was destroyed, and tiles fell off in the bathroom). We are from Zaporizhzhia.There are three people with disabilities in our family: my daughter and I have Group II visual disabilities due to a rare genetic eye disease. It is difficult for us to move around and adapt to the conditions of society. My husband has diabetes, has a Group III disability, underwent leg bypass surgery, and also had two toes amputated. My mother is 85 years old and constantly suffers from age-related illnesses.All of us need ongoing medical treatment. We are in a very difficult financial situation.
