A large IDP family from Luhansk region. I am raising 3 boys; my eldest son has a disability.


Since 2014 I have already lost my home twice. At the moment we live in the city of Dnipro. There are 3 children in the family: the eldest, Tymurchyk, is 11, has a disability, and has already been through 7 surgeries; the middle one, Anton, is 6; and my youngest son, Serhii, is only 2.5. I am still on maternity leave, but I grab any work I can so that the children have everything, and it is still not enough. I earnestly ask for help, because it is very hard to survive. Unfortunately, my family can't help, because they are under occupation and have no way to leave.
