My Story

Narek K.: I was born on July 30, in Gyumri. My hair is brown, while my eyes are light brown. I am in the 7th grade. My favourite school subject is the Armenian language. I am healthy. I attend our local Apostolic church. My parents are divorced. My father does not contribute to our family financially. My mother usually does cleaning jobs but is currently incapacitated due to health reasons. A month ago, she was diagnosed with a fibroadenoma and a malignant breast tumour. My 67-year-old grandmother also lives with us. Our income is not enough to cover our needs; it includes state assistance and my grandmother's pension. We are temporarily living in a trailer that is in a dilapidated condition. The living room walls have wallpaper. The place is clean and tidy. Rats enter the house through holes in the trailer. The floor is damaged. The windows are broken. Water and electricity are provided. There is no bathroom. The toilet is in poor condition. The place is heated with a stove. The furniture is old.  (2-765; new)
