Svitlana Stanislavivna Ivanchenko

бездомные

I was born in Dniprodzerzhynsk, in an ordinary family – we lived just like everyone else.
After I finished school and then technical college, we moved to Kyiv. Here I entered Kyiv Polytechnic Institute to the technical department and after graduation I stayed to work there.

All my life, I tried to live so as not to offend anyone, helping whoever I could.
I was married, but my husband is already dead. He was a world-renowned scientist, worked a lot and was greatly appreciated. His name was Fedir Kondratiiovych Ivanchenko (12.10.1918-25.08.2005)

I have a daughter called Masha. She married a Spaniard and went to live in Spain. I helped her a lot: I constantly sent her a part of my pension, made her different gifts.
When my husband died, Masha suggested me selling the apartment on Vladymyrska street (near the Golden Gate metro station) and moving to Spain. So we did.
Last year, Masha put me on a plane, brought me to Boryspil and left. So I found myself on the street. Then I lost my passport…

Now I dream of making a new passport so I can receive a pension again.
Now this woman lives in the House of Mercy Kyiv
