We are a large family (10 people: me, my husband and 8 children); one of our little sons has a disability (he needs surgery).

Since the start of the war, my husband lost his job, and we lived only on social benefits, which were catastrophically insufficient. Over time, my husband and I found jobs, but then disaster struck: our house burned down (an electrical short circuit). Our fellow villagers helped us with clothes, shoes, and food, and some with money. Friends helped us with a house, free of charge, but only temporarily. We don't have nearly enough money, not even for the bare necessities.
