"We ran in turns from the basement to the kitchen to cook food"

My father and mother are dead, and my grandparents are also gone. I'm alone with the baby. We live in the social shelter for single mothers with children.

We all use one kitchen. Now we can cook normally. Before that we had to run from the basement to take turns cooking.

Psychologists help us and provide support. They offer taking up embroidery to calm down instead of sedatives.
