Women in need

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.

I am a mother of two children: a 4-year-old son and a 2-month-old baby girl. We are currently staying in a social apartment due to abuse from my partner, the children’s father, toward me and my son. Legally, I am still married to another man who is a foreign citizen. Because of this, my newborn daughter is automatically being registered under the foreigner’s surname, while I want her to have mine. While these bureaucratic and legal issues are being resolved, we need help, as I am not receiving any social benefits for the children.

I am a mother of six children, four of whom are still minors (17, 7, 5, and 4 years old). After the birth of our third child together, my civil partner became abusive. He controlled me and the children, took away money, and did not allow me to work, so we lived in complete isolation. Three months ago, he threw me out of the house without the children, but later I managed to take them back. Now we live in a social apartment, but our stay there is coming to an end.We urgently need to find rental housing. We need financial support, spring and summer clothes for the children, and food.

I am from the Vinnytsia region and live with my 82-year-old mother. I am 52 years old and have a disability and multiple health conditions.Since childhood, I have suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, have undergone five joint replacement surgeries, and have also had cancer (basal cell carcinoma). I move around the house with a cane.Currently, I am being treated for heart failure and polyneuropathy. My mother is bedridden due to a hip fracture.We both need help, as we constantly require medication, most of which we have to buy ourselves, and we live on two pensions.
