I live in the town Merefa, Kharkiv region. My whole family is a student son. We never left our hometown, we always stayed in our house. Before the war, I worked for 12 years as a postman at the Ukrposhta branch. In the fall of 2022, our branch was closed due to shelling. And then I got to the hospital.

I had a very simple gynecological procedure. The doctor gave me an injection of painkillers. It turned out that I cannot use them. My blood pressure increased a lot. I Iended up in intensive care in Kharkiv. A large blood clot formed in my head. I underwent a very complicated operation - skull trepanation.

Now I am learning to live anew - to walk, talk, think. I forget a lot and often cry. Funds are needed for post-resuscitation rehabilitation. The son is  looking for part-time jobs. It is difficult in the frontline zone.
