Women in need

I am a mother of five children. In September 2022, a shell hit our yard, killing my husband. Then, in May 2024, we were evacuated from our home village in Donetsk region due to the occupation. We left with only the clothes on our backs. On top of everything, I have rheumatic heart disease and require daily medication. We are currently renting a place in Oleksandriia. I am in despair and don't know what to do next... We're starting life from scratch.

I am 27 years old and a mother of seven children (6 months, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 10 years old). We are internally displaced persons from the Kherson region, and our house was burned down in occupied territory. We currently live in a village in the Mykolaiv region. The children's father left us and has a new family; he is not interested in the children. My kids are constantly sick, and I had to hospitalize the youngest, who is only five months old. I am now forced to ask for help.

I am 21 years old, a single mother of two children (2 and 1 years old). I am an internally displaced person (IDP). Before the war, I lived in Kharkiv, but I had to move to the village of Kostyantynivka in the region. Here, a woman has temporarily taken me into her home. The father of my children left me when he found out about my second pregnancy. I don’t know where to go next or how to manage. I have very few means to live on, so I am asking for financial assistance.

I have HIV and tuberculosis. I am an internally displaced person (IDP) from Donetsk region, and we are living in Pavlohrad, where I rent housing. I am raising two children, aged 13 and 17. My daughter has a disability from birth — moderate intellectual disability with minimal behavioral issues. She requires my constant supervision. We live on social benefits, which are catastrophically insufficient.

I have stage 3 thyroid cancer, which I have been battling for 8 years. Now metastases have spread to my salivary glands. A lot of money is needed for tests and supportive therapy. I live in Kryvyi Rih with my son, who is a student. I run a shelter that houses 65 cats. I sincerely ask for help to save my life.

I fled with my five children from an abusive husband. We lived in a shelter for victims of domestic violence. Last year, I moved with four of my children (ages 4, 6, 14, and 16) to another region. We have no contact with the children's father, and I fear that he might find out where we are. Our house is on occupied territory, and here we live in rented accommodation. I am in a difficult situation and asking for help.
