One day my life turned upside down. I woke up my husband up one morning with the words - "Darling, we are going to have a baby”. I’d never have known that I was only going to feel that full sense of joy for just two weeks. Exactly two weeks later, I woke up my husband with the words - "The war has begun". From the happiest person I turned into a person who was in constant panic, questioning how to live and what to do next. The war changed our lives - like many hundreds of people. For the sake of my child's safety, I was forced to leave my home and try to do everything to arrange a happy, carefree childhood for her. ❤️
The biggest test for me was the constant fear for the safety and life of my daughter. The first few hours after her birth were spent sitting in a bomb shelter. It was the hardest thing for me because I felt all the responsibility for this new little life. I had many joyful dreams and plans for motherhood, and I still try my best to fulfil them all, so that she doesn't feel the pain of what we had to go through. Her happy childhood is my responsibility - and she will have it! For every mother, the smile of her child is the most valuable treasure.
I’m so happy that there are so many sincere people in the world with good hearts, who not only try to live their own happy lives, but also do good to others by making other people's lives happier. I am so happy that there is such an organisation like Beam that helps people through such varied difficulties in life.
I am going to do everything to make my daughter feel like the happiest child in the whole world when we finally move. A safe space - a centre of love, joy, mental warmth and peace. I'll make every effort to make our new house feel like home.
My biggest wish is for the war to end and for us to be able to breathe a sigh of relief. The most important thing for me is that my family and friends are alive and healthy. That's where I see my life in two years time - in a house full of children's laughter, all together in a family circle. That would be the greatest happiness of all for me ❤️
