Being originally from Ukraine, life has taken me on an unexpected journey, and I now find myself living in Kazakhstan with my sister. Like so many others, the war forced us to leave our home and start anew in a different country. Though the challenges have been great, they have only strengthened my resilience and determination to build a fulfilling life here.

I am a kind and hardworking woman who believes that life’s trials shape us into better versions of ourselves. I have always approached life with an open heart and a positive outlook, even in the most difficult of times. My family is incredibly important to me, and I am proud of the bond I share with my sister. We support each other through everything, and together we are finding ways to create a new sense of home.

I have a grown-up son who is independent and pursuing his own path in life. Watching him grow into the man he has become fills me with immense pride. Now, with my son grown, I feel it is the right time to focus on myself and open my heart to love once again.
