True charity begins with us - with a sincere smile, a kind word and love for our neighbor.

One of such people is Lyubov Ivanovna. In her venerable age, Ms. Lyubov remains a beloved wife, mother of three daughters and one son, whom she raised with love for people and a sense of justice.

Throughout her life, Ivanovna, as her colleagues call her, learned to appreciate every day, and especially its beginning - the sunrise. After all, Mrs. Lyubov's morning begins with its first rays. She is a cook, and her dishes will please even the most demanding gourmets.

For more than 38 years, the woman has been skillfully working in the kitchen. Her passion, energy and skill once again prove that Ivanovna gets satisfaction from her work and thanks from people. Of course, from time to time, a woman treats her family, neighbors and work colleagues with her culinary masterpieces.

"She works like a bee - tirelessly," - that's how her colleagues talk about her.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian invaders, Ms. Lyuba has been without a job for an indefinite period. However, the vast experience of culinary arts came in handy more than ever. Now Ivanivna helps our defenders - maritime border guards of the Maritime Guard Training Center.

Thin, juicy, tender, aromatic pizza, pies with potatoes and meat, a pie with a special cooking secret - these dishes fly away from the soldiers instantly.

"In fact, when it comes to charity, most people start thinking about huge sums of money. But in reality, many people don't need money, mostly they need care and attention. Sometimes an ordinary conversation is enough to make a person's life a little brighter and more cheerful. And if we also treat ourselves to a delicious donut with coffee, then life will immediately find its meaning and confidence that the victory will certainly be ours," says Ivanovna.
