Women in need

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.

On March 26, 2026, my husband, a serviceman, was killed on the front line. It has been only two years since we became a family, and now I am left alone with two small children — a 2-year-old son and an 8-month-old baby girl. We are from the Donetsk region and moved to Kryvyi Rih because of the full-scale invasion. I am currently living with my children in rented housing. Due to the investigation into the circumstances of my husband’s death, we have not yet received any official compensation payments. In addition, the child support payment of 7,000 UAH has not been received for the second month in a row — I only received 860 UAH.

I have a Group III disability due to worn joints and orthopedic problems. I have already undergone a left leg replacement surgery, but I have not yet been placed on the waiting list for the right leg surgery.I am raising two daughters, aged 14 and 15, on my own. Their father left us and does not provide any financial support. I filed a claim for child support, as well as for the establishment of paternity, because one daughter is officially registered under his name, while the other is not.For the case to proceed, I must pay for a DNA test myself, but I do not have such money, as my only income is a disability pension of 3,500 UAH. I kindly ask for help in paying for the DNA test.
