Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

My postwar childhood was tough. My father was killed in WW II. My mother raised me and my younger sister alone. I finished technical college, got married and gave birth two my two sons. My husband died in 2001. Now I am bedbound after a stroke.

Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?

I worked at a shoe-factory first and later at the automobile factory. Work condition were hard, since many things had to be done manually. Later most of manufacture lines became automatic so my work became easier.  Was I pleased with my job? Well, I had to work to be able to pay the bills.

Tell about your present life.

It is hard to be a bedbound. It has been more than 2 years since I had a stroke. As a result my right side has been injured.  It is good that I live with my son, faith in God and the church that takes care for me. I live with hope in my heart,  I listen to Christian radio and pray for you all.

Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?

I have been believed in Christ all my life. I try to keep His commandments and will believe in Him as long as I live.

Tell about one thing your sponsor needs to know about you.

I praise God for our sponsors who do not forget about needy people like me. You are noble people od great faith. P.S. My son has written this. When I get well I will tell you about everything myself. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes who defend our land!
