Matsiuk Yevdokiia Hryhorovna is 75 years old

She comes from the urban-type settlement  of Novoarkhanhelsk, Kirovograd region.

Yevdokiia Hryhorovna graduated from Uman Pedagogical Institute and spent a lifetime working as a teacher of chemistry and biology in a secondary school.

She lived with her sister and the only daughter. The sister began to take to the bottle, forcing Yevdokiia to drink together. Yevdokiia Hryhorovna kept refusing, so her sister began to make a drunkard of her daughter.

By that time, she had already retired, and in order to get rid of the constant stress at home, she went to Kyiv in search of money, to sell flowers.

She is old enough to sit on her hands, and she has to work. A saleswoman working next to her tells that often Yevdokiia falls asleep while sitting with a bunch of flowers. Her hat falls, the flowers fall too, and she sleeps on…

She recently had her passport, pensioner ID card and Oschadbank card, where her  pension was charged, stolen. Now, instead of living in a hostel, she has to live at the train station, eating at the cheapest canteen.

Together we wrote a statement to the police about the loss of a passport. When their conclusion is ready, it will be necessary to send her to Novoarkhanhelsk.

We need money for the return tickets, for paying fine for losing a passport, for her new photos for the documents. It is possible that some more money will be required to restore the pension certificate.
