Ex-official of the port of Odessa from the death of volunteers

The 64-year-old Odessa citizen Olga Kuzminskaya almost died a painful death on an old, worn-off sofa: for more than 4 months, a woman with a broken hip lay motionless in bed, and the only close relative - a sister living in the same apartment - not only did not care for the patient, but also just gave her food when she felt for it.

“Olga Kuzminskaya is 64 years old. A resident of Odessa. In the past, she held a high post in the port as head of the finance department. Her late husband was a deputy of the City Council in Odessa. For four months she was lying at home on the couch, from which springs protrude, with a fracture of the femoral neck. She couldn't walk, she was just lied there, waiting to die. "Unfortunately, the older sister, with her idea of justice and proper treatment, did a lot of harm: poor sanitation, lack of proper nutrition" Gerasimov said.

Fortunately, caring neighbors came to the rescue of Odessa: they called a trauma doctor at the house of the injured woman. He established: the neck of the hip is broken, it is too late to put gypsum, hospitalization is necessary. Older sister Olga chose to limit her own strength and periodically gave the relative injections of pain medication. Caring neighbors reported the incident to volunteers and reporters. The woman was taken to the hospital.

“Today we saw the result of joint work. Ambulance, media, New Life homeless help service, Assumption Monastery, doctors of the 11th hospital. Together we did a great job today. From a dirty, stinking room with flies to a clean bed with a future perspective. With a perspective on life. I would like to thank all concerned people who drew attention to the fact that someone was in trouble, ”Gerasimov added.
