We need money for food, hygiene products, medicine and housing costs.

I am a single mother raising two children, aged 14 and 6, on my own; we are a low-income family, IDPs. We barely have enough money for food; we live in a rented apartment. My younger child gets sick often, and my daughter's eyesight has worsened, so we need to order prescription glasses. To somehow survive, I have to borrow money from the bank and from acquaintances. Since the beginning of winter we have to pay for heating, and for us the amount is more than we can bear.
