I'm caring for my father, who's 89. After worsening Parkinson's disease Yevhen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Yevhen desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Yevhen worked all of his life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $350 goes: โ€ข Medication and prescriptions: $165 โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Iryna

  1. 51% there. I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations. Thank you.

  2. Update from Kyiv: the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. We're at 44% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $104 raised so far (30%). the plan for medication and prescriptions is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yevhen

    • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. medication and prescriptions comes first ($165) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Hope it all works out, Iryna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
