my name is katya. I live in Russia. My parents died when I was 5 years old. More precisely, I was raised by my grandmother until 5. And then she was gone. The path to a happy life , through an orphanage , a foster family where I was just a labor forc that did all the housework and gardening , the birth of my daughter at 15, and the desire to live the way people live , led me here. I was sent to a children's home, and 3 days later I was told that my grandmother had passed away. I had to accept reality and move on with my life. The boarding school for children up to 3rd grade was my home. Then my family took me from America. But I only lived there for 4 months. I was deported to Russia and taken to a remote village in a family where, as it turned out, my brother was . Life wasn 't easy. When it became absolutely unbearable . God sent me my baby girl. I was 15 then. I refused an abortion because I knew it came to me as a motivator to move on. I had to run away from my family ( or rather, they abandoned me ) And live independently . I didn't have enough money at all , and for days I thought about how to start earning money in order to live and not exist. And one day, in the entrance, I heard 2 ladies discussing this profession, I did not wait long and began to search for information on my own. And so, with small steps, I was walking towards what I really wanted . Half a year later, I replaced the old familiar walls with a comfortable apartment, and my daughter went to the garden. And I started living like a normal person. Today, this is my favorite thing, which makes my eyes burn, and my family is happy.
