Dear Xxxx, thank you for such a good letter. I'll be honest. My life now
is like a nightmare. My parents no longer alive, you must have
forgotten, I wrote you about it. They crashed in an accident many
years ago. From the family I have only my grandmother and I am
forced to live with her. I have nowhere else to live and nowhere to
go to start a new and happy life. And then you probably know that I
live in a region where there is war. Now even stopped bombing our
city, but a few months ago I had to hide from the bombs in the
basement. I graduated from University, but the work is impossible to
find, so still there is war. I wrote in humanitarian service. Are committed
to helping the elderly and the poor. We receive humanitarian aid from
Russia and we give it to the people. I don't get money for their work,
only food. I don't know where I find my strength to survive. But I'm
all arms and legs clinging to life.
Dear, I would gladly come and see you, but I don't have the funds.
I don't even have passports, i will be happy spand Christamas with you
My dear, please try to understand. I must have the International
passport for coming to you. I can't go abroad without it. I
understand that you're surprised with this. You have only one
passport. And I think you can go with it wherever you wish. In
Ukraine it's a different thing. We have the Ukrainian passport which
we get at the age of 16. But for going abroad we must make the
International passport. It's possible to make it here in Lugansk, but
it'll cost $250 and it'll be ready in 10 days. I won't be able to
make it by myself, I just don't have such a great amount and I can't
borrow it. There's unemployment and crisis in the country. If you can
help me with making the passport, I'll come to you with pleasure
write, I need you care and you kiss, irina
