Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I had a good childhood. I went to a secondary school and had many friends. In the summer, I went on vacation to the sea, to camps. I got married to my classmate. We have two children, a daughter and a son. We have three grandchildren. Five years ago my husband died.

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

I worked as a commodity expert in a large, beautiful department store in the city of Bakhmut. I liked everything about it. Now the city of Bakhmut no longer exists. Everything was destroyed. We are left with only memories and tears.

Tell about your present life.

My son Andriy was sent to work in Kyiv. Now I live with them in a rented apartment. He and his wife have two schoolchildren. We have nothing left in Bakhmut, everything was burned and destroyed. We left there with only the most necessary things, hoping to return soon. My grandson, who is 14 years old, started having epileptic seizures. The war continues. It is very disturbing. How do you go on living?

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

I believe and trust in Jesus Christ. I hope that He will send us help in our situation

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

We are all looking forward to the end of the war and the longed-for peace. People are dying, houses are being destroyed, and lives are being ruined. It is very painful and sad. We are grateful to everyone who can support us now.

May God grant everyone peace, health and goodness.
