Childhood happiness – when mother’s around. A child needs his mother especially in the hospital. Children always recover faster next to their mothers than without their care. In our days our help is needed to mothers who live with their children-patients in the Pediatric Orthopedic Department at the Federal State Budget Institution, Federal Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise (FBMSE). In this Department, after complex operations, children with disabilities and with severe disorders of the musculoskeletal system are treated and undergo rehabilitation. There are also small children who need permanent care, because they cannot move. Mothers live with their children in the hospital room – they feed, look after, take care. Mothers have no place to sleep next to their babies at night. That’s why the Institution asked to the Diema’s Dream Fund for help in purchasing 20 cots for mothers.
The Fund has long-standing cooperation and friendship with FBMSE. The Pediatric Orthopedic Department of the FBMSE has accepted for operations and treatment our Fund’s wards with severe developmental disorders from the Elatomsky orphanage, the Pervomaisky orphanage and the Moscow Orphanage No. 8 for mentally retarded children. We know firsthand what miracles doctors do there. But mothers are great helpers of doctors in the period of postoperative care for children! Doctors believe that mothers’ presence is necessary to improve the quality of life of young patients during treatment. Unfortunately, the budget of the medical institution is not enough to purchase folding beds for mothers to sleep in.
Previously, mothers slept on neighboring beds or, if there were no free beds, on folding beds, which were once acquired by Orthodox volunteers. But now the FBMSE has been partially transferred to work with coronavirus patients and the Pediatric Department has been compacted as much as possible. Children are still in hospital beds, but there are not enough beds for mothers to sleep at night. And new cots are needed because the old ones are badly dilapidated and it is no longer possible to use them. Doctors have repaired them on their own more than once, but more, unfortunately, they cannot be repaired.
We in the Fund believe that a good deed should be done well: it is necessary to buy cots that will serve for a long time in the Pediatric Department of the FBMSE. Reliable, comfortable, high quality and at the best price. And we found a suitable manufacturer and asked him for a good price – bulk price and with a discount. The purchase of 20 cots at the manufacturer’s plant in Yaroslavl with delivery to Moscow will cost 51,200 rubles.
The KTR-4 folding beds which we have chosen are designed for an adult weighing up to 120 kg, made of durable steel tubes, with elastic springs and a mattress and can serve as long as possible. And 2,560 rubles for one such cot with delivery is a good investment.
The director of the Fund, Elena Volodina, has visited to the Pediatric Department more than once, and saw that the folding beds were constantly used, and the unclaimed ones were carefully stored in the department, waiting for their time.
Let’s raise funds for the purchase of cots that moms need so much! We believe that there are many people in our environment who are ready to join to our good cause, and together we will collect the necessary amount in the shortest possible time! You can support the collection with any amount convenient for you at the bottom of the collection page. And then mothers can sleep normally at night next to their children.
THANK YOU!
