Care for Maria, 94: help cover a carer and medication in Kazan
Help Maria stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇷🇺 Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia1,287 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Maria can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maria desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Maria worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $600
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $205
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love, Alexander. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing Maria a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'll check back for the next update.
Take care, Alexander. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Alexander. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
hang in there, Alexander. Shared it with a few friends. After 17 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
