Our family lived in Skadovsk, Kherson region - my husband and I, my parents and ourchildren. We have our own house. We have twins - a boy and a girl, they are 7years old. Our youngest daughter was born in August 2021. That same month, my husband signed a contract with the army. When the war came, he was already in Donetsk region, serving in the marines.

The Kherson region came under occupation a month and a half after the start of the greatwar. It was scary to live in the occupation and very expensive. Banks andterminals did not work, money could be converted into cash only through some "exchanges" at 7-10%. My mother worked in a hospital before the war. The hospital was closed during the occupation. My mother needed an operation. We decided to run away from there.

At the end of April, my mother and children and I tried to leave the occupied territory for the first time. We were not allowed. At the end of May, we did leave the occupied territory. First we went to Dnipro city. But there were rocket bombardments. The children were afraid. We moved to the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the town of Nadvirna.

At the beginning of June, I lost contact with my husband. He has been considered missing since June. I spoke with his military leadership. Now the army does not transfer his salary to us, but deposits it into a special account. Previously,he personally transferred money to us. If he is declared dead, I will be able to apply for those funds.

Mom is preparing for an operation, which will be performed here in Nadvirna. I raise children. The youngest daughter has a problem with her muscles - they arepoorly formed, she cannot sit by herself. We are looking for housing for rentand are waiting for the deoccupation of our house - Kherson.
