I have two children with disabilities. The husband could not stand it and left the family about two years ago. He helped a little before the war. With the beginning of the war, he simply disappeared. I don't know if he is still alive - after all, we live in the Mykolaiv region and we have shelling here, and the front and the occupation are nearby.

I can't work. Children require round-the-clock care. I have two boys - 10 years old and 7 years old. The eldest son entered the first grade this year. He talks a little and understands the world a little. The youngest son has a very severe form of autism. He doesn't talk at all. He is hyperactive. Sleeps poorly at night. Special sedatives are needed for him to sleep at least a little. I must follow him step by step.

Both children have special diets. For example, the youngest son eats only dairy products. We have a grandmother. But she is old and sick, walks with a cane. She can't help me. We rent our home. We spend half of the social assistance from the state to pay for housing. We live very hard.
