"The doctor offered me a walker first. I refused, I said I would walk with all my strength, but on my own," says Marina. – They picked up an orthosis for me, compression stockings – they stop the pain altogether. The only thing that remains is a limp."
For a year now, Marina has been a patient at a Charity clinic for the homeless, people without citizenship and documents. I came here for the first time when my leg hurt so much that it was impossible to step.
She found herself on the street more than ten years ago. At the same time, few people around you know that a woman has no family, no housing, no documents - she looks after herself, looks clean and tidy. He's trying to get a passport, but it's a long process. In the meantime, Marina lives in a shelter, unofficially moonlights as a cleaner, and turns to a Charity clinic for medical help, where neither money nor a passport are required.
The clinic's doctors helped the woman to break bad habits, undergo rehabilitation, improve her health and, most importantly, want to become a better person. Marina now looks at her experience of street life from the outside, like a swimmer who has come ashore and has not yet had time to catch his breath. She still has a long way to go, and she will always find support in a Charity clinic.
The clinic's assistance for undocumented people is free of charge. Now the organization needs funds to pay for the work of a general practitioner. Friends, let's support those who help people in need!
