I am Lida, and I live in the mountains with my five little ones. My husband passed away from illness three years ago and ever since then I've been struggling to make ends meet as a widow with no way to support myself or my children.

We don't have much money, so we rely on hunting for food and gathering berries to survive. But it's not enough; sometimes we go hungry for days. It makes me feel so tired all the time, but I try to be strong for the sake of my babies.

I live in a small wooden cabin on the mountain, with linen clothes as my only attire. My breasts are big and often get in the way when I'm trying to work or lift things. People have started calling me names because of them, but I don't let it bother me. What's important is taking care of my children.
