Nina Ivanovna, 73 years old, receives warm meals delivered by our foundation's couriers every day, as she is bedridden and unable to take care of herself independently. The medical service of the foundation monitors her health. Nina was born healthy, but at three months old she contracted the flu and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. An operation helped her move only one leg, so she spent her whole life in a wheelchair or relying on the arms of her mother and aunt. Together, they went to the movies and even once to the mountains.
Her mother passed away in 1988, and three years later her aunt died, leaving Nina alone. Despite leading a mostly homebound life, she surrounded herself with friends and neighbors. In 2000, she got married and even worked, taking orders for a window company over the phone.
But over the years, work, health, and loved ones dwindled. Nina's husband passed away in January, leaving her without a second pension. Unable to pay all utility bills, she accrued a debt for heating, which threatens disconnection and increased penalties. Let's help Nina Ivanovna keep warmth in her home - let's pay off her heating debt.
