Elena Mina from Xylofagou, goes through difficult times but does not lose her strength and courage…
Elena Mina mentions in ant1ıwo:
"I was born on 12/1/1980 in Larnaca but for the last 10 years I have been living in Xylofagou.
My childhood was difficult - images that still torment my mind and soul. But I was always a strong child and I managed to find strength, not to stop, to dream and hope for a better future.
"I have a mentally retarded sister who is 5 years older than me. At 30, she became pregnant and today has a 13-year-old child also mentally retarded. My father takes care of them both. He supports us, helps us all. My father is a meek man, a great storehouse of love, kindness and forgiveness.
In 2013, at the age of 67, my mother died. Since then everything has changed for me. Intense feelings of anxiety, panic attacks and depression that bother me to this day.
My life…
When I finished high school I went to painting school and at the moment I am dealing with hagiography. When I was 19, I got married. I had a child and divorced at the age of 23. I got married for the second time in 2006 and had 2 children. Unfortunately I divorced again, in 2014. Today I live with my 2 children - my child from my first marriage lives with his father - and my new partner, helps me a lot and supports me.
In August 2017 I got sick…
I had strange symptoms and I started to worry. Instability, vision problems and very severe headaches. Axial showed 3 tumors on the left side of the head, malignant tumors…
I have had 42 chemotherapies so far and now I have to go to Greece for treatment because the last axial showed that one tumor has grown. There they have a machine with which the volume can be reduced, lost.
I receive sickness benefit and my partner is unemployed, but he also has several health problems. I need a lot of money for the trip, the state pays for the treatment which costs around € 7500. But I need money for the rest of the expenses (hotels, food, transportation). But I do not despair, God is great, I am sure that everything will go well.
I want to live for the sake of my children. I'm sure I will be completely well. Everything will go fine I am sure and I wish the same for the whole world. Difficulties and problems are for people, not to be disappointed, never to despair! ”.
