Tetiana can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last September; we're asking for $950.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After a stroke last September Tetiana can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tetiana desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Tetiana 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 three months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $950 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $680 • Medication and prescriptions: $150 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $55 With deep gratitude, Svetlana

Updates from Svetlana

  1. We're at 35% thanks to 12 of you. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($189 in total) the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $77 raised so far (8%). the plan for hospital bed and mattress rental is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
