The Director’s message was as follows: We are writing to you to ask you to perform yet another good deed. We thank you for the assistance you have already sent in the form of mobility devices which are very much needed in our center. They are being put to good use! We are sure that you are aware of the events in Ukraine. We are at war and the govern- ment has reduced its support of institutions like ours due to the hardships and expenses that the war has created. Currently, the only funding we receive is what is needed for food, medicine, and payroll for the center’s work- ers. We have 250 residents, 180 of them are seriously ill and many of them are bed-ridden. We are in desperate need of a new washing machine. The New Jersey Regional Council Social Welfare Chair, Ivanka Olesnycky, visited Tyvriv Geriatric Center in September of 2012, to meet the staff, to view the mobility devices that the Re- gional Council had sent and to assess its needs for future use. At that time, replacing the washing machine was already the highest priority. Some observations of Tyvriv Geriatric Center made by Ivanka Olesnycky at that time were: There were 60 bed-ridden patients who needed care 24/7. Conditions were crowded, with patients living four persons to a room. The Geriatric Center was home to not only seniors but also to young people who were missing various limbs and disabled peo- ple. The facility and all of the residents de- pended exclusively on the financial re- sources provided by the government and donations from charities. The facilities were very neat and clean. The residents seemed to be well tended to but there did not seem to be many activi- ties for them to participate in. There was a library and a chapel. The atmosphere was bright and homey. Bread and rolls were baked on the prem- ises. Residents reported that the food was good.
