Care for Svetlana, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Lviv

I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Svetlana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Svetlana 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. Svetlana worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 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 $1,000 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50 • Part-time carer (four months): $790 • Medication and prescriptions: $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Anna
