Dignity in old age: caring for Natalia
Help Natalia stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine463 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Natalia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Natalia 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.
Natalia worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three 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 $1,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $980
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45
• Medication and prescriptions: $175
Thank you for reading my story.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
