Hello, I'm Kateryna. I'm currently living in the UK as a refugee with my 11-year-old son and my husband. We're staying with a host family who have been incredibly kind to us since we had to leave our home in Ukraine due to the invasion. I was working as an endodontist, a root canal specialist, for 12 years back in Ukraine. I loved my job, being able to help people and solve their dental problems brought me immense joy. But now, I'm working as a dental nurse while I complete my qualifications here.
The biggest challenge I've faced was having to leave my home just three days after the invasion started. It was a terrifying and heartbreaking experience. However, knowing that there are people who want to support me in achieving my goals gives me hope. It feels like I'm being given a second chance to restore my life. I'm excited about launching my Beam donations page because I hope my story will resonate with people and inspire them to help.
In two years' time, I hope to be a fully qualified dentist here in the UK, doing what I do best - treating people's teeth. With the support of Beam and your kind donations, I can confirm my English abilities and then pass my medical exams easily and quickly. When I achieve this goal, I know I'll be in seventh heaven.
