Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I was 6 when the war started. I was able to start school at 9 in 1944 because our area had been occupied by the Nazi. I finished my music education in 1959.

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

I worked at “Trembita” music band in Lviv since 1959. Later in 1967 I won the contest and started working in “Dumka” band in Kyiv – there I worked will 2011. I was pleased with my job. In 2011 when my husband died my legs could not function because of stress. I was 77 then and the doctors were helpless. Now I move with help of crutches. I cannot sit.

Tell about your present life.

As for my age I have normal life which is supported by St. Paul Church helped by American Christians. We know that our Program works due to our American friends who help Ukrainian people and we are very thankful to them.

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

I have believed in Christ  since my childhood.
