Tamara Sukhanova entire siege, from first to the last day spent in Leningrad. Defended the city from the Nazis, working on defence activities: digging anti-tank ditches, building fortifications. After the war, all his life worked as a medic. Now Tamara S. 93. She is still in a clear mind, but the body fails. For more than a year old doesn’t get up. Fortunately, she is not alone, lives with her son and daughter-in-law. But their pensions are not enough for you to buy this wheelchair.
– From the room to the bathroom I wear my mom’s hands. Would wear more often and longer, but a bad back to me every time is difficult, – says the son of Tamara Sukhanova Nicholas. – If the apartment we do a good job, at the cottage, where the summer will take mom, no wheelchairs no way. Laying her back in the room. Mom wants to sit in the garden and breathe the fresh air… it’s how the veteran can secure a free seat, but my attempts to contact the appropriate services have been unsuccessful. May 9, came to us girl volunteers to congratulate the mother of the veteran on the holiday. I randomly asked them, do not tell you they like to be.
– first We were confused, were not prepared for this request, but promised to think about it. The project participants repeatedly chipped in to buy the elderly. However, it was some ordinary thing, not as a custom object as a wheelchair, – the volunteer tells Valery Loskutov. – Posted in General chat. It was easier than I thought. Instantly there was a chair – not new but in very good condition, folding and affordable. The desired amount was collected in a few hours, each got quite a bit. The day my husband went for the gurney in the bum and took Tamara Sergeevna.
– my wife and I have tears in my eyes, don’t know how to thank volunteers. Mom is happy – no words! All could not believe in such a miracle. Sat in the wheelchair, cries of joy and repeating: “is it Really me?”. I say: get used to it mom, this is your personal car, – continues Nikolay. Now not knurled in the apartment. And can’t wait for the end of the coronavirus. Then I could finally take mom outside and take a walk with her. For the first time in a very long time. I bow to all who helped!
by the Way, for Valerie, this story of a wheelchair has become a kind of final active volunteering in the project #Myvote. The hospital where she works, tomorrow will take patients with COVID-19. Accordingly about trips to pensioners now out of the question – and risk the health of the elderly.
– I Will work remotely to assist the coordinators. In General, I am very glad that joined the project #Myvote. This is certainly inspiring, concludes Valery. – I have long been interested volunteering, I even took part��and some small stock. But more for entertainment, there could very well do without me. And here I felt part of a large and very important business. Help – need!
