37 y. o.
Unemployed single father; my mother has a disability, my grandmother is a pensioner. Money for rent, utility bills, medicine, food.


We are internally displaced people from the town of Marinka in the Donetsk region; we left the town with a minimal set of belongings. We have nowhere to return to, because our home has been destroyed. I lost my job. I am raising my 13-year-old daughter on my own; living with us now are my mother, who has a disability, and my grandmother, an 82-year-old pensioner. I have chronic back problems, my mother had surgery to remove a spinal hernia, and my grandmother has a heart condition; all these illnesses require constant treatment. We now live in a rented apartment, and it is hard for us to manage paying the rent, paying the utilities, and buying medicine, not to mention clothes and food.
