I live in Myrnograd, Donetsk region. My family is my children. I am a mother of 7 children. My two sons are already grown up, they went abroad a long time ago and I lost contact with them. The adult daughter already has her own baby. 4 children live with me: an 18-year-old student son, a 15-year-old daughter, a 12-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter.

I worked as a nurse in a private dental clinic before the start of the great war. It was enough for our life. But when the great war began, the clinic closed. My children and I left our hometown twice. But in the end were turned home, although our home is 30 km from the front.

In October 2023, I started bleeding. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer - stage 3. It's too late to do the operation, the metastases have gone. Now I am waiting for radiation and chemotherapy in a hospital in Dnipro. I was warned that I might have to buy medicine, because theend of the year is the end of medical drugs and state funding. And I can't postpone treatment for the next year, time is very expensive.
