WEBVTT - Made with VTT Creator 00:01.000 --> 00:17.025 You know, this is just a real horror. In one second, I lost my whole family, everyone. My husband, my daughter-in-law, my son, our granddaughter, 00:17.025 --> 00:30.394 my son-in-law, and my daughter. I had the best family; they were just perfect. You know, I cannot say anything bad about them... 00:33.790 --> 00:43.941 It is impossible, just impossible, to listen to Svitlana without having tears. The woman lost six of her dearest family 00:43.941 --> 00:52.429 members because of the russian missile in a matter of seconds. She lost her loved ones, her love, her help and her support. 00:52.429 --> 00:59.349 Lately, my husband was on retirement for health reasons. He has long been a pensioner, but continues to be employed. 00:59.349 --> 01:01.703 I don’t remember for how long... Every evening, he went out to meet me from my work, as it was dark. 01:01.703 --> 01:09.609 I would come home and all the chores around the house were done. I would come home and I would have to call my daughter, 01:09.609 --> 01:13.492 I had to call my son, to find out how they were doing. Now there is no one, and I don’t know why I live, for what purpose I live. 01:13.492 --> 01:22.761 In a matter of a second, I lost the whole family. I don’t understand, and there is a question on my mind all the time: what for? For what all this was done to me? 01:22.761 --> 01:30.348 On that day, Svitlana was preparing as never before, as her daughter and her son-in-law were supposed to come from Odesa. 01:30.348 --> 01:38.799 Mother was glad, as the whole family would gather at one holiday table. Mother did not see her daughter Maryna all year long, 01:38.799 --> 01:48.226 and finally they all got together again. Her son Oleksandr came over with his wife Yana and her granddaughter Hanna. 01:48.226 --> 01:56.729 We sat down at the table and the celebration was in progress. I went out into the kitchen. I wanted to take meat out of the oven. At that moment, 01:56.729 --> 02:08.165 some cracking or breaking sound rang out! It was a terrible sound of crushing. The ceiling started to collapse, and I fell down, as if into some kind of pit. 02:18.673 --> 02:25.143 Then I recovered my senses, being on a heap of all those debris. A concrete partition wall fell on me 02:25.143 --> 02:34.652 I raised my head. I was in a state of sound mind and clear memory. You look around, and there is silence everywhere. A frightening silence. 02:34.652 --> 02:50.324 Suddenly, through that silence, Svitlana heard “Mum, help me”. She saw her daughter high on top, barely holding onto some pieces of concrete. 02:50.324 --> 03:00.749 She fell down before my eyes. And then I saw an explosion and a fire on the side. That was all. And I lost my consciousness. 03:00.749 --> 03:15.600 I woke up in the intensive care unit. You realize that you do not have anything left. My whole life was destroyed in a second, demolished completely. 03:15.600 --> 03:22.726 There was no our section of the building left. Only I survived alone. But I just don’t understand: why? There were so many children, 03:22.726 --> 03:29.276 so many young people there... Why did I remain alive? It would be better if it were someone else from young people, 03:29.276 --> 03:39.851 whose life is just beginning. Incomprehensible. This is just some kind of punishment. I cannot imagine how I will go out and how I will live on. 03:39.851 --> 03:49.461 I don’t know why I live, what for? I lost everything that was dear to me. I lost absolutely everything. 03:49.461 --> 04:00.666 The pain that cannot be dulled. The pain we have to share with Svitlana. Nowadays, the words of each of us, of the whole country, are so important. 04:00.666 --> 04:08.956 Spare no words, and write to Svitlana. She will read every comment, for sure. Now she is getting ready for a complex surgery 04:08.956 --> 04:18.250 for prosthetics of the hip joint in order to be able to stand on her feet again, for the sake of her family members. 04:18.250 --> 04:27.423 Why did they do it to me, for what? What did we do so wrong in this life? Why are they shelling the civilian population? 04:27.423 --> 04:35.368 Well, the battlefield is over there, so they could wage the fighting there. Yet, no. They hit the building on Saturday, on a holiday, 04:35.368 --> 04:47.621 when many people are at home. Can you imagine such a thing to happen? When such a missile flies in, killing that number of people. This is just awful. 05:05.105 --> 05:14.612 The Rinat Akhmetov Foundation helps in the treatment and rehabilitation of Svitlana Figurna, as well as all other victims of the terrorist acts in Dnipro: 05:14.612 --> 05:21.241 both children and adults, regardless of their age and regardless of the severity of their injuries. 05:21.241 --> 05:39.400 If you also need help or you know those people who need it so much, please contact the Foundation by calling the toll-free hotline number 0800 509 001.
