Kharkiv, Ukraine
79 y. o.
I have a Group 1 disability, I am very ill and can barely move around my apartment. There is barely enough money for medicine and food.

Before the war I was very ill with COVID-19; the disease damaged my heart and my spine, and I underwent a very difficult heart surgery. From the start of the war I lived under shelling in Saltivka, it was very frightening. I was forced to leave my home and move to another city, then I came back. In 2023 my daughter got cancer; when I found out, I tried to take my own life, but I was saved. I have a Group 1 disability, I am very ill, and I can barely move around the apartment. My daughter died recently. My son and his family are internally displaced; I am alone, there is no one to help, and I receive only a pension of 4350 UAH. It barely covers medicine and food. And recently, after a serious illness, my daughter died. I don't know how to go on living. Please help me!
