Volodymyr wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

Volodymyr can't afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $700.

I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After a heart attack Volodymyr can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Volodymyr desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Volodymyr worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $700 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $530 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $100 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $70 With deep gratitude, Petro

  2. Quick update: $340 raised so far (49%). the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Quick update: $195 raised so far (28%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Volodymyr?

      Thank you. If you're in Odesa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

  • Ximena A. McDonald

    You're not alone, Petro. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
