“A family of three needed money for basic needs including food and medicine. Before the war the father was a driver and the mother was a shop assistant. The shopping centre where she worked was destroyed and father lost his job. They have a daughter, Nastya. In the city where they live there is no water, light or heating. The family has no money set aside and they have no income. ”

“A woman from Zaporozhye had a brain tumour removed five years ago. Before the invasion, she was examined and the tumour had returned. She needed surgery. She and her husband needed money as he had a stroke and is unable to work. He walks with difficulty.”

”One woman fled with her child from Kyiv to Germany. They crossed the border on foot so could only take possessions that they could carry. They now live near Berlin. ”

"Angelica is on maternity leave with 2 children (3 years and 9 months). Her mother has a heart condition and needs surgery. She was unable to have surgery in Ukraine because they couldn’t raise the money to cover it. They have no income after fleeing their homeland."

”A family of four, including two young children, were forced to leave Mariupol on March 16. All they were able to take with them were their identity documents, they left all of their other possessions behind. The eldest daughter, eight, is disabled and the youngest child is ten months old. At the moment they are in Berdyansk.”

”Yana is raising 3 children and now the youngest is undergoing surgery. She is unemployed.”

‘’A mum with her 10-year-old son were forced to flee to Italy, leaving most of their possessions behind. The boy needed food and new clothes. He is recovering from cancer and, because of potential risks to his health, he cannot wear second hand clothing.‘’
