I was born in Donetsk region. My childhood was spent in the town of Makiivka. Now it is an occupied territory. I studied piano in Kharkiv. I got married here. Since 2014, my mother and grandmother also moved to Kharkiv.

‍

My husband and I broke up. I have an 11-year-old son. The husband helps his son a little, but now there is no work anywhere in Kharkiv. Before the war, I worked at several jobs at the same time. I worked in a cultural center by profession, and on weekends and night shifts I worked in a call center, answering calls. Now it is very difficult to find a job by profession or not in Kharkiv.

‍

Now we live with my mother and grandmother together - we rent the flat. Grandma is almost blind. Our city is often shelled. In mid-March, my son and I left our city for two months in a neighboring region, and spent the night in the school's gymnasium. And then we turned back. Yes, I would like to go somewhere from here, but I am afraid to go anywhere - we have no money at all.
