It is night, almost morning, and everyone is still asleep. Three explosions are heard, water and electricity are briefly cut off. What is this? Explosions across the country, it has begun \u2013 it\u2019s all over the social media. I can\u2019t believe it, I\u2019m getting ready to go to work and tell my husband to stay with the kids. He says it\u2019s the war. I don\u2019t believe him. A plane flies overhead, the house shakes, I hope it will be another hour or two and then everything will be fine. Soon it will be three years, and the hopes are still the same \u2013 everything will be fine, we say it out loud.<\/p>\n

My heart and body still tremble from the explosions. The first days were tense \u2013 how to feed the children, where to live, because the building on the 15th floor shakes a lot when a rocket or plane flies by, what\u2019s next, how are friends and family, what about work and school? Our family was sheltered in a private house, there were 16 of us, huddled together, sleeping on the floor in the hallway at night because it was safer there. We wrote “CHILDREN” on the cars for those leaving the city. On the phone, I provided psychological support to those in need. Our oldest son was in another part of the city, in a basement \u2013 there were people and animals, everyone was there.<\/p>\n

And then spring arrives, even though there is still snow and ice outside. We decide to take our children and friends out of the city. It is difficult, but necessary. I have only a few things with me, I even take a rifle because I don\u2019t know what will happen. Along the way to the eastern region of the country, people feed others on the road, there are traffic jams, checkpoints, overnight stays in schools on the floor with strangers, but everywhere there is support and compassion. After a few days, we reach a safer region. We start volunteering here as well \u2013 weaving camouflage nets, helping others, collecting aid for the military and civilians in Kharkiv. There, my husband delivered aid on his bicycle to those in need.<\/p>\n

Life goes on… Everything will be fine… We believe, we pray.<\/p>\n
