It so happened that in March 2022 an evacuation was announced in the Donetsk region. This is a scary, foreign and cold word. It evoked the same feelings when, due to "Russian" aggression, we were forced to leave our native home and become displaced persons. Endless tears, sadness, despair - life has stopped. Dnipro also encountered certain household problems. It was like that for two or three months - I don't remember exactly, because that emotional pain prevented me from feeling reality.But it could not last that long, and I was lucky enough to meet with an incredible team of representatives of the public organization "Force of the Future". Communicating with these guys and girls literally brought life back to life. And a lot of useful information, new acquaintances, discoveries, support.
I attended meetings, workshops, excursions with pleasure and enjoyed the time spent together with immigrants like me.The "Contakt2U" community is real, active, indomitable, strong-spirited people, communication with whom has healing power and gives confidence. Over the past eight months, I have received support and assistance in adapting to a foreign, unfamiliar city. If it weren't for these meetings, being under stress could have unpredictable consequences. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of a wonderful community.

How did we become immigrants?In July 2014, I and my family left our hometown of Donetsk for the Donetsk region, which wasn`t occupied.My daughters had to go to the first grade, so we thought we'd be back soon.But it was not destined.Closer to September, we realized thatwe had to decide, how to proceed and began to look for a dangerous place in another city.Literally trusting the universe, we went to the city of Pavlograd.We very quickly found housing and work there.Later I found out that I was pregnant.She worked as a pharmacy manager for up to 9 months. Every morning I traveled by bus to the city of Ternivka.The fear of being left without means of livelihood gave more than strength.My husband also mastered a new direction of activity. Began to work at height.We both gained new experience and new opportunities.When the son was born, they moved toDnipro, because my husband had the prospect of expanding his activities in this city.And it was the right decision.New connections, a new circle of acquaintances, a new way of building our life.Playback appeared in my life, which later became a favorite thing and even changed my professional activity, which now brings not only income, but also satisfaction from my duties.And all this is thanks to the people who met on my way.Most of them are now the team of the "Contakt2u" project, where I perform the duties of an accountant, and sometimes a playback actress of the "FarbaFabra" community.I am very glad to be involved in such a creative and working process with creative, goal-oriented people. Who, in dark times for all of us, do important things, inspiring with their energy and giving support and support with their actions.I don't know this from hearsay, at one time I was lucky, thanks to them I changed my life for the better.
