Olena, 41 and her family arrived from Mariupol last August. They were in hell for a whole month, their neighbors were dying every day. They had fear and hopelessness. It was a terrifying sight: burned houses, burned animals, destroyed streets... They moved to another city in Ukraine, but there was no peace, no food also...
