My husband died in the battles near Sumy on August 16, 2024. He volunteered back in 2014 and without hesitation went to defend the country again in 2022. Now, I’m left alone with our 9- and 11-year-old children, and I’m pregnant with our third child. We are completely on our own, without support or money, living in a rented apartment in a city that’s foreign to us—Kryvyi Rih, where we moved from Kramatorsk.

Due to my current condition, I am unable to work. The compensation for my husband's death has not yet been approved, and I’ve been told it’s a lengthy process.

We have no relatives to turn to. I don’t know what to do or how to continue living...
