Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I was born into a family of farmers. Besides me, there was an older sister and a younger brother in the family. After graduating from high school, I went to Kyiv to study at the Polygraphic College. I got married and had a son.

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

I worked in Kyiv in a construction department. Then I worked in a kindergarten as a housekeeper. Later I retired.

Tell about your present life.

Currently, I live alone. My son died in 2014 in the area of the ATO. He was a squad leader. He received the award “For Courage”. My husband died in 2018 from a heart attack. I am left alone. Now I am supported and helped by my niece.

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

Yes, I believe in God. Unfortunately, I came to Him, I think, too late, only in 2014. I didn’t go to church as a child because it was forbidden and my father was a communist. But now I believe in Him. I turn to Him when I am lonely and upset, when I am scared and feel completely helpless. Also when I am worried or have to make a decision.

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

Christ said in the Sermon on the Mount: “So whatever you want people to do to you, do the same to them. This is the law and the prophets.” This is the golden rule of morality. This is a difficult task that God sets before us, but I completely agree with Him. And may He help us in everything.
