Oksana left her job in sales to be her caregiver. Oksana's husband was not able to work in the same period. The family lacked funds for the essentials. The highest-cost items were Zoia's medication, and the hygiene supplies she needs to keep safe and comfortable while she is bedridden, such as incontinence products and special soaps. Zoia's doctors also prescribed a high-protein diet, which Oksana cannot afford to provide.
