Women in need

I was sexually exploited and abused by my own father. Childhood was full of horrors, pain, bullying and hardship. Now I am raising a 14-year-old son. He is the one for whom I hold on and for whom I live. I have health problems and great financial difficulties. I ask for your help.

I managed to escape the hell of domestic violence from my husband, who abused me and my children. I am raising six minor children on my own (boys aged 10 and 17, and girls aged 6, 12, 13, and 15). I have a part-time job and a place to live, but I am in need of help. I grew up in an orphanage and have no parents or relatives to turn to for support. I kindly ask for your assistance.

I am raising four daughters (ages 2, 5, 13, and 15) on my own. My youngest daughter has a severe diagnosis — cerebral palsy (spastic tetraplegia, severe stage). She has impaired muscle function in all her limbs and requires expensive rehabilitation procedures. I work part-time as a manicure specialist on weekends, but unfortunately, my financial resources are very limited. Recently, I have been experiencing severe headaches — I need medical examinations, but I cannot afford them.

I am a single mother raising two little girls (4 years old and 1 year and 3 months old). Until 2023, we lived in Kharkiv, but due to frequent shelling, we moved to the Kharkiv region, to Kostyantynivka. We are living in an old house with a wood stove and very modest conditions.Now, the front line is very close, but since we don't have our own home, we have nowhere to go. The father of my first child left me when I was three months pregnant. It is very difficult for me on my own, as I have no one to turn to for help. I would be incredibly grateful for any support.

I am from Chasiv Yar, and I have three children: a daughter who is a university student and two sons, aged 8 and 4. Because of the war, we lost our home. My parents, who are pensioners, also fled Lysychansk due to the occupation of the city.My mother has cancer — lymphoma. She has already undergone eight chemotherapy sessions and will go for her ninth on December 16.We all live together in a village, and I earn some income by baking pastries to order, but it’s not enough. Our financial resources are very limited, so I kindly ask for your help.

My son has a disability: cerebral palsy (CP) and epilepsy — he is severely ill and bedridden. Due to his condition, I cannot work, as he requires constant care. We are a family of internally displaced persons (IDPs): a retired grandmother who suffers from diabetes, my 11-year-old son, and me. We were forced to leave our home in Sievierodonetsk and now live in Dnipro, where we rent an apartment.I strive to provide my son with a decent life and support my mother’s health, but I lack sufficient funds for the medications and specialized nutrition my child needs.
