Care for Ivan, 85: help cover a carer and medication in Kharkiv
Ivan can't afford the care He needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,100.

I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Ivan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ivan desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Ivan worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $740
• Medication and prescriptions: $160
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $95
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kingston
