The Woman from Zhytomyr

A woman from Zhytomyr, with tears in her eyes, shares her story and gratitude for the medicine and support she has received:

A year before the war, my husband tragically died at work from an electric shock. The day before the war began, my eldest son came to visit me. When he heard that the fighting had started, he immediately left for Bucha to bring his wife and child to safety. Sadly, he never made it. After the area was liberated, his car was found riddled with bullets on the roadside, alongside others, near a mass grave where his body was also discovered.

My younger son joined the army from the very first days of the war and was severely wounded in battle. He spent a long time in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Now, he is unfit for military service, but because his medical documents were lost, he only receives minimal financial assistance and cannot be granted a disability status.

Despite this immense suffering, I am deeply grateful for the medicine and all the help that has been provided to me. In the darkest of times, it has been a true lifeline.”
