Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

There were 7 people in my family: mother, father, grandmother, my sister and I, and two cousins. My parents adopted them when they became orphans. After completing my secondary education, I entered a vocational school specializing in chemical technology.

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

I got a job at a glass factory chemical lab. I worked with hazardous chemical agents: ammonia, antimony, and various acids. The hood in this lab was not good so after a while I developed ulcer and later – autoimmune hypothyroidism. I have been taking hormones for 15 years. It’s a lifetime therapy.

Tell about your present life.

The war forced me, and my daughter and her husband to flee from Kostyantynivka. My daughter is a nurse. She also has a thyroid condition and, for that reason, she can’t have children. She has been taking hormones as well. The three of us are renting a room. It is very small. One person has to sleep on the floor.

I am a widow. My husband died two years ago. My house in Kostyantynivka has not been damaged, but the city has been constantly shelled.

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

I believe in Christ. I have believed in Him since my childhood.

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

I beg my sponsor to support me in my very difficult circumstances. My pension is only 2,700 hryvnia, and I need to purchase medicines on a regular basis.
