Pohreby, Ukraine
67 y. o.
A very difficult financial situation.


I, Psarova Nataliia Oleksandrivna, born on 20.12.1955, a resident of the town of Toretsk, Bakhmut district, Donetsk region, am a person with a Group III disability. Due to the sharp escalation of hostilities in our home town, my husband, Psarov Hennadii Mykolaiovych, born on 06.11.1955, and I were forced to leave our own home and evacuate to the village of Pohreby in Poltava region, where we now live as internally displaced persons in a small rented house. We stayed at home until the very last moment… We lived without gas, heating, water, often without electricity. Our house was damaged many times. But when a shell fell nearby — on the boundary between our house and the neighboring one — and seriously wounded our neighbor, we realized we could not stay any longer… It was a very hard decision — to leave everything that was near and dear to us. We hastily took only the bare essentials and set off into the unknown, looking for at least relative safety. At present my home in Toretsk has been completely destroyed and I have been left without a home.... Before the war I worked as a registered sole proprietor at the local market — I sold vegetables. It was our only income. Because of the war, trading became impossible, and later the market stopped operating altogether. We lost everything we had and were left without any means of subsistence. Now we find ourselves in very difficult life circumstances and are forced to start life from scratch. We turn to you with a sincere request for help. For us it is a chance to survive and preserve our health. Any support is extremely important for us right now.
