Born to Belarusian parents in 1945, Maria Gandrabura came to the Soviet Republic of Moldova in 1964 where she married a Moldovan. As she did not get the so called "compensation", a public grant for the poor, in 2014, she found out she needed to get an ID card from the Republic of Moldova, an independent state since 1991. Late in 2014, she was barred from voting and started to worry how she would pass her humble garden to her daughter without papers. Thanks to UNHCR-supported litigation, the lady won in an important court case and her statelessness was successfully prevented.
