Me and my boyfriend were living for about 4 years in Mykolayiv, and the last 2 months before the war started we lived in Kyiv. We have been volunteering since the second day of the war. As soon as we got here It was a very different kind of help - from gathering food and sending it to particular places all over Ukraine to sewing military ammunition.
