My Story

Albina G.: I was born on February 12th, in Stepanakert. My hair and eyes are brown. I am in 7th grade. My favorite school subject is the Armenian language. I am completely healthy. My father is unemployed. He got a 3rd-degree disability as a result of the war. My mother is a housewife. She has a thyroid issue. My mother is my guardian. I have 5 sisters (Elen, Elina, Evelina, Rebecca, Rena) and 3 brothers (Erik, Gasik, Hamlet, Albert). Our income is not enough to cover our needs. It includes my father's disability pension, my grandparents' pensions, and state support for people displaced from Artsakh. After the Artsakh war, our family initially moved to Yerevan, but did not stay long and later settled in the village of Arjut in Lori Province, engaging in agriculture. Due to health issues of my grandmother, we relocated to Vanadzor and rented a private house. The house has adequate social conditions. It consists of three rooms: one bedroom is occupied by my grandparents, while the other 2 are reserved for my parents, me, and my siblings. The house is partially renovated. The furniture and appliances belong to the landlord, except for the TV, which belongs to us. The place is heated with a central heating system. We have hot water and gas. (DC2-281; new)
