I am originally from Nikopol, but now I live with my 6 young children in Pokrov, Dnipro region. My husband and I are divorced, he was unable to pay alimony, but to avoid prison, his parents paid some money, for which I bought a two-room apartment. Currently, my husband sends me up to 500 hryvnias from time to time. He doesn't even have enough money for medicine and food.

I have a part-time job selling food at the market. There is little work in Pokrova, schools and kindergartens are closed. It costs 120 UAH per hour to call a teacher from the school to come to the house, which is expensive for us, so I try to teach my children on my own with the help of a neighbor. My children are often sick, and two of them have complicated brain diseases.‍

The children are always scared because we can hear explosions and shells and planes flying overhead, and my eldest son started stuttering when the full-scale invasion began. We are allowed to take a laptop from school to study, but we have to return it on weekends. We are afraid to use it because if it is damaged, we will have to compensate for it with money we do not have. I really need money for better education for my children, as well as for medicines and food for them. I would be very grateful if a working laptop for my children could be found.
