Women in need

I live in Zaporizhzhia, in a private house. I don't have both legs, I lost them in an accident when I was a child. My whole family is 4 dogs picked up from the street. I am afraid of winter - I collect funds for firewood or coal.

I am from the city of Sumy. We lived there as a family: me, my husband, our daughter and my husband's parents. With the beginning of the big war, my husbahd joined the territorial defense, then the Armed Forces. In February 2023, he died near Bakhmut. I have not get any payments yet. His father died a month ago. I stayed with our 8-year-old daughter and my husband's mother.

I live in Kherson. I survived the entire occupation with my son and husband in my hometown. We both lost our jobs but stayed at home. On May 3, 2023, there was a massive shelling of Kherson. The rocket hit the supermarket. My husband was wounded by shrapnel and died.

I am from Kharkiv. My husband was killed by Russian soldiers in the first days of the war. My husband was a volunteer. He and five other people were found by police in a manhole in April 2023. All six people killed were blindfolded and handcuffed. I stayed with my 11-year-old son.

I am from Berdyansk. All my life I worked in a fishing shop, carried boxes of fish. I lost my health there. And when the war started, I almost went blind. I left the occupated city and go to Kyiv, had eye surgery for borrowed money. I have nothing to repay the debt.

I am from Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia region. My city is occupied, strangers have settled in my apartment. I live in Lviv in a shelter for displaced women. I have been on hemodialysis for 6 years. And now I have a suspicion of oncology. I need an MRI, it's 6 thousand UAH, I don't have the money for it.
