Women in need

I am from Mariupol. I lived there with my husband and two daughters. Now our city is occupied, our apartment is destroyed. My husband died at the front at the end of March 2023. I'm still gathering the necessary documents to receive a death benefit. We are immigrants, it is much more difficult for us.

I am a mother of many children from the Donetsk region. I have 5 sons and 2 daughters. We lived almost on the dividing line. In April 2022, my two sons went to take water and did not return. One died on the spot from shelling. Another is missing. We evacuated. Very soon, our village was bombarded with phosphorus bombs and wiped off the face of the earth.

I am from the city of Slovyansk, Donetsk region. Now I live in Kharkiv region. I have had severe kidney disease since I was 15 years old. I have only one kidney and now I had the fifth operation on it. I'm not working now because I'm not feeling well.

I am from the town of Chasiv Yar, near Bakhmut. My husband, a soldier, died in 2020 near Avdiivka. We have two children with him. Our house is destroyed. I am currently pregnant with my third child, but I am a single mother. I need help in the maternity ward, to give birth in August.

I am from Mariupol. My husband was a soldier, he was in Azov, he died at Azovstal. "Hrad" flew into our house and destroyed it. My son and I barely escaped from occupied Mariupol. For a long time I had nervous breakdowns, severe depression with drug treatment. Last week, my son went to war.

I live in Balaklia, I rent a room. My home was completely destroyed by a direct hit from a shell last September. My husband died in the same month. I have survived three councils, and I also have gout and rheumatism. I have a daughter, she is in Kharkiv, and it is not easy to live there either.
