Halyna wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Halyna can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $1,100.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Halyna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Halyna desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Halyna worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $1,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $810
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100
Thanks for reading all this.

Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Ogbomosho.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
How is Halyna doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Milena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Kyiv
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Ikeja this morning. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Milena. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Newcastle.
