" We experienced the horrors of war together with domestic animals"
I have three children. We take water from the well and heat the house with wood. I had to start a farm that year in order to survive. We have two cows, a goat and a ram. We experienced the horrors of war together. It was so scary, We hid in the barn or in the basement. The goats broke away and ran to our basement when bombing was heavy.
Vasyl works as a watchman. Ten years ago, I became disabled — I got into a car accident. Now my leg is 8 cm shorter than the other one. We do any job we can find.
My mother lives with us. After the stroke, she had mental problems. She can't take care of herself, and she needs medication to improve her condition. We spend a significant part of the family budget on medicines. Now we are going to take her to the hospital for treatment.
