I am a Ukrainian woman who chose to serve during the war.

So…

At home, I only have my mother, who is 68 years old. She has a heart condition and therefore needs constant medication. I have no one else.
I went through battles, trenches, and most of the time I served as a combat medic — it has shaken my mental health.

I am originally from Chernivtsi, in western Ukraine. However, in recent years I have rarely been home, spending most of my time in the Donetsk region. Unfortunately, we do not have enough people to replace us so that some of the soldiers could take leave. I miss home deeply, and I know it is hard for my mother without me. But I cannot even afford to hire a caregiver for her.

I am ashamed to say this, but right now I severely lack money for everything — proper equipment, stabilizing my condition, my mother’s treatment, and adequate nutrition. On top of that, I also have debts for my apartment in the amount of $500.
I would be grateful for any contribution you can make! At now we need 3000$ :(

Thank you for being human.
