I am a single mother in Kharkiv, raising my son, who is now in his second year of studying at a road technical school. He studies online every day, even in the summer, so he can't work.

‍

I also take care of my sick parents. My mother doesn't receive a pension because she is only 62 years old and can't walk anymore, so she doesn't work. I used to work as a market seller, but now I can only work once a week because there are almost no customers. I earn up to 200 hryvnias a day.

‍

As an IDP, I do not receive payments because my son is an adult. Our family of four lives on my father's pension, which is 3200 UAH. I cannot leave because of my parents' health condition.
