Hello, I'm Oksana. I arrived in the UK a year ago, fleeing from the war that erupted in my homeland, Ukraine. That day, my life was turned upside down - my dreams, my plans, and my home were shattered. I found myself in a new country, grateful to be safe but overwhelmed by the challenge of starting over. I've been working hard to rebuild my life here, finding solace in sport and running, but it's been a daunting journey. I'm currently working as a manager in a bank, but I'm unsatisfied and seeking better opportunities.
What makes me happy is living in the moment and being able to make those around me happy. But the greatest happiness for me would be a world without war, where my family and loved ones are safe and content. I'm determined to find a stable job and create a new home here in the UK, but beginning again with nothing is incredibly challenging. I need your support to help me take these first steps towards a new beginning.
Knowing that there are kind-hearted individuals out there who want to support me fills me with profound gratitude and hope. Your generosity not only eases the burden of starting over but also restores my faith in humanity during such a challenging time.
