Age 16

I was born in the Donetsk Region. I finished 9 classes of the secondary school. I had to leave home because of my stepfather who beat me.

In search of food I accepted suggestion of my friend to earn money by prostitution on a roadway. Then I started a baby. It was difficult to establish fatherhood. It seemed to me that I was in a hopeless situation. I wanted to commit suicide.

By accident I came to the Stephania cafe where I was given free meal and where I heard that I must seek safety in Jesus Christ.

Having 16 years and no means of living, yet I decided to leave the baby.

Pains began in the cafe. Thanks to care and attention of good people I was brought to the maternity home where I gave birth to girl Mashenka.

God helped me with the roof over my head, and now I live in a flat.

I am in great need of baby buggy, dwelling, warm clothes and food for my baby and me.
