Gifts for lonely

The old people in the Maximilian hospital “Long Endo” The Fund for the third year has been collecting gifts on the Christmas tree

Maximilianovskaya - one of the oldest St. Petersburg hospitals, was opened in 1850 for charitable donations. Help all disadvantaged - the idea laid down by its founder, writer and philanthropist Vladimir Odoevsky, is still alive. In 2015, the hospital was reproduced to provide nursing, palliative care and rehabilitation, and now under old arches are mostly elderly and lonely people.

If in a regular hospital patients are treated on average no more than 21 days, then in Maximilian-60. It happens that grandparents do not have documents-they need to be restored, it happens that the old people need to be issued from the hospital to boarding houses, because they can no longer live, but there is no one to help.

It happens that these people already remember almost nothing. Often they lie in the hospital for years.

The hospital is provided as an ordinary hospital, although old weak people need more bedding, diapers, diapers, care products, and therapeutic nutrition.

From the very beginning of its work, the Foundation "Happily" took a hospital under the care of patients of the hospital, boughts everything necessary for donations, and together with the "Need helps" fund acquires equipment for the care of bedrooms.

For the New Year, the elderly need to collect 205 gifts. In each set, they put a cotton shirt of free cut-preferably white, a washcloth, a handle, a towel for the face and hands, socks. And small soft toys with a solid filler inside - they give children to develop fine motor skills. And an elderly person with weak hands, lonely - sorting out this toy, stroke it - it is important, because there is no one else to stroke and no one to touch.

It is necessary to collect
T-shirts of the 54th size-80 pcs. 58th-80 pcs., 62nd-45 pieces. Female socks size 38–39 - 155 pairs, male socks (42–44) - 50 pairs. Toys - how much it will turn out, they collect a hundred, but one hundred and one hundred and the second will not be superfluous.

Also in the hospital, hygienic napkins (minalin and White Whale), children's shampoos “Bubechen” (less allergenic), and the skin care products of the elderly Tena will be grateful as a gift.

The collection takes place in the office of the Charitable Foundation "Long Empty", in Baskovo Lane, 12, office 201 - from nine in the morning to eight in the evening until December 15.
