Women in need

My husband beat me and threw me out with my two daughters — a 4-month-old baby and a 10-year-old girl. I am currently staying in my parents’ apartment with my sick mother, who had a stroke. I help her as much as I can, but there is a large debt for utilities. Since part of the apartment is in my name, the enforcement service has blocked my social card, which receives the child support payments. I am completely without money or food. I don’t know what to do next. I’m begging for help.

I am an elderly woman living alone from the city of Siversk, Donetsk region. My property has been destroyed, and the city is located in an active war zone. I spent one year and seven months living in a basement due to constant shelling and sustained an eye injury. After evacuation, I underwent an expensive surgery, but unfortunately, my vision did not recover. I am now living in Dnipro in a rented apartment. I am worried about my eyesight, suffering from leg problems, and I urgently need money for medical examinations and medication.

I am a single mother raising five children: a one-year-old daughter, girls aged 4, 10, and 13, and a 7-year-old son. In March, my eldest daughter underwent a complicated surgery to remove a tumor located behind her liver. All the savings I had were spent on tests, travel, and rehabilitation. I even had to borrow money, which I still haven't been able to repay. Unfortunately, new growths have been found again, and she now needs further examinations. I am in a difficult situation and am asking for help.

A disaster has happened — the apartment where I live with my children caught fire. The kitchen completely burned down, and the adjacent rooms were also damaged. Restoring everything will require a lot of resources. I take on occasional jobs wherever I can, and I’m raising four young children on my own — aged 3, 7, 10, and 11. Unfortunately, I’m unable to repair the damage by myself. I also have debts for electricity and gas, and I simply can’t cope with this crisis alone.

My husband has beaten me again; he constantly abuses me. He hits me on the head so there are no visible marks; he hits me in front of the children and even hits them. I am very afraid of him. I have no support from my family, and I lost my friends long ago because my husband doesn’t like it when I talk to anyone. I am raising three young children and working with my husband, but he doesn’t give me any money because, according to him, I don’t deserve it. After taking the children, I sought help, but unfortunately, I have no money at all. Please help.

I am a single mother from the frontline city of Kramatorsk. I am raising three small children: my daughter is 1.5 months old, and my sons are 3 and 6 years old. I am currently in a crisis due to the reprocessing of social benefits — I’m left with only 860 UAH per month in child support. Unfortunately, prices here are very high, and I can’t afford even the most basic necessities or utility payments. I would be sincerely grateful for any support.
