Hi, my name is Jenny (evgniia). I am from Ukraine; I am 30 years old. I have lived for 1.5 years in England. The first time was when I arrived in England. I’ve been in a small town near Liverpool. I have lived in Barnsley for more than 1 year. I have a big family, but all my family is in Ukraine. I had an interesting and creative job. I was an organizer of the event, and I created the design for events such as birthday parties, weddings, baby showers, etc.

It was an interesting job and life. But on 24/02/22 life in my country changed. I lost my job and a calm and normal life. My town has been under occupation for 2.5 months around 4 am we woke up from a strong noise, which had been outside but on 20/04/22 in the evening enemy was in our town. We were very lucky because our town doesn’t have 2.5 months we were not to go to other regions or other people and some stores with products and vegetables and may of 22022. We’re very lucky because the enemy did not do all these terrible acts, like in other towns or cities and somehow, we escaped and came to the UK.

Now after 1.5 years, my life has some stability, and I found a part-time job with the help of ELSH and trying to live my life as normal as possible. I am extremely grateful to ELSH for not only helping me find a job but also helping me improve my English and other aspects of life.
