"They miss Donbass and want to come back home"

views: 881

We were recently under attack. Twice. Oh, it was so terrible. We did alright before that. Seven families left. I had nowhere to go. I'm afraid of the shooting. I am just afraid of the attacks. Once they start shooting, I just prick up ears. When the attacks end, I rush to the store. There's a solid basement there. They allow people there.

There is a bench here. I can barely make it. It is so dreadful. But what should I do?

There was this young family here. They moved to Klishchiivka.  A woman named Nina Ivanivna used to live here, on the second floor. Her husband took her to Belarus after another attack. They miss Donbass. They miss Donbass and want to come back home.

We lived normal lives. I can't believe this is happening. My son-in-law has already repaired this. He replaced the windows. The window was shattered. The table was broken. I wanted to heat the stove when suddenly I was thrown away to the door. It was scary. It happened on 31 January 2015. God forbid for anyone to experience something like this. Many people had to die. So many houses were smashed. Our house was damaged, too.

The roof still leaks. I bought some cover-up. We covered the ceiling. However, it did not really help. I told the children that I would not go anywhere.

I would like to express my gratitude to Rinat Leonidovich. God bless him! I receive some flour and pasta. There are enough products for a month. Thank you very much. We also get eggs and porridge. I make the porridge. I get butter, as well as condensed milk.

Life is hard, but we try to get through. Let's hope for the best. Perhaps Rinat Leonidovich will help restore our Donbass. We will never give up. We have no other choice. We have to,  because it is our home.
