Yekaterinburg
I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a stroke last August Sofia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sofia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Sofia 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 four months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $850 goes: โ€ข Part-time carer (four months): $600 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $125 โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $125 Thank you for reading my story.
