Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I was born in a family of agronomists. My childhood was spent in Kharkiv. I had wonderful grandparents. I was the only child in our family. In 1967 we moved to Sevastopol (Crimea) where I finished high school and graduated from the university as an electric engineer. I worked in different places. In 2014 my husband and I moved to Kyiv because of the threats from the Russians who occupied Crimea. In 2021 my husband died. I have no kids.

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

I worked at different places. My jobs were good. I tried to do my work well  and found interest in everything I was doing.

Tell about your present life.

Now I live in a dormitory with other people who had to leave their homes since the beginning of the war in 2014. Conditions are ok. Relationships among people are good, we help one another. My pension is very small and would have been very hard to survive without the church’s help, especially now during the war. I am very thankful.

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

I do. Christ is with me when I think and when I do something. I always trust in Him in my hardships. I was baptized in 1995.

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

I will never deny my faith in Christ and will always trust in Him. It is my faith in Christ that helps me overcome all the life hardships.
