I live in Toretsk, Donetsk region. 500 meters from my house is the first line of defense, the front is already there. Occupied Horlivka is already 5 kilometers from ourtown. There are almost no people in Toretsk, almost nothing works. Some 20 private houses remained residential. There is no electricity, gas, or watersupply for a whole year. Of course, we are often shelled.

My daughter and little grandson live with me. He is 3 years old. Before the maternity leave,the daughter worked as a nurse in the hospital. Now the hospital is closed, there is nowhere to work. Humanitarian help is not brought to our city. Sometimes vendors bring bread, but not enough. Sometimes we bake bread in a panon the fire in the yard.

I have a pensionof UAH 3,000. The daughter haschild benefit, less than UAH 1,000. We also have a vegetable garden. This ishow we live. We don't want to go anywhere, because here at least we have a home. If anyone can help us with anything, we will be very grateful. Sometimes Ukrpost works here.
