Zinaida Sheyko
Pogreby, Ukraine
82 y. o.
I am a lonely pensioner, 82 years old, from the town of Toretsk, Bakhmut district, Donetsk region. My husband has died.


I, Sheiko Zinaida Oleksiivna, born in 1944, am currently a pensioner living alone. I recently turned 82. I have a Group II disability. I come from the town of Toretsk, Bakhmut district, Donetsk region, which is now almost occupied and lies on the line of contact near the city of Horlivka. For a long time our town was under constant shelling. Living together with my bedridden husband from February 2022 to February 2023 in a town with no gas, heating, water supply or electricity, and being under constant shelling (the blast wave knocked out almost all the windows in our apartment at our address), we were forced to evacuate to a safer place in Poltava region, with practically nothing. Sadly, my husband recently died, already in evacuation, and I was left completely alone. I have only a minimal pension, which is not enough even for basic needs, let alone the medicines I need every day. In view of this, I sincerely ask you to provide me with any help you can.
