I am from Primorsk, Zaporizhzhia region. I have a son, now he is 10 years old. I worked in state structures. When a full-scale invasion took place, our city quickly fell into occupation. Russian soldiers searched the apartments. They also came to my home. It was terrible. I understood that it was dangerous to stay. It was very difficult, butmy son and I escaped from the occupied territory.

My son and I have settled in Zaporizhzhia, we rent an apartment. In December 2022, my mother died. There were no doctors or medicine in the occupation. I could not save her. Mom was only 49 years old.

In Zaporizhzhia, my son developed a serious illness - all his fingernails andtoenails crumbled and simply disappeared. It is a complex and rare genetic disease. Then he developed psoriasis. Then I started having inflammation in my right kidney. We constantly buy medicines and ointments. I'm afraid to leave my son alone and that's why I don't go to work. There is constant shelling in Zaporizhzhia, I am afraid to leave my child.
