My name is Anna. I was born in 1989 in Luck, a little town here in the Ukraine. I am now a student at a boarding school. I am interested in sports and dancing.

I have four sisters, and we live alone with our mother in a little apartment. But she does not earn enough to give us clothing, food, education and at the same time pay for the house rent. We no longer have gas in our apartment, because my mother cannot afford it. There is not enough room for all of us in the apartment and that is why I am here at the boarding school.

My mother does not have a Ukrainian pasport and cannot afford to purchase one. Without it, I cannot get all the papers to apply for admission to the university. I dream mostly of getting a really good education. I hope, that there is someone, that can help me.
