I and my husband Benjamin Koghan moved in Kokshetau from St.-Petersburg. Not having lived and year, Benjamin died. He was the invalid of Great Patriotic War of II group. He had the awards and received the large pension. And I had decent pension, as standing was 44 years. We did not confine ourselves in anything.

   In connection with death of the husband the condition of my health sharply worsened. And the absence of the second pension has had an effect - I could not afford many very necessary medicines any more. My diagnosis of illness: Hypertonic of III degree, risk IV, threat of a heart attack or insult, increasing stenocardia.

  While there is a registration of pension issue about transformation in Kazakhstan, I since October, 2005 have not been receiving pension.

   I became panic-stricken, has lost dream, fell of weight of a body, and lost interest to life, frequently it was necessary to call "ambulance". I twice was in hospital of city clinic. But the success was short-term.We decided to pass on to expensive medicines. Children appliedall efforts to rescue the mum. They got expensive medicines, paid medical chambers, paid for all public utilities for an apartment, paid care of me.

   Being in such heavy psychological and moral condition I have addressed for the help in Hesed "Nathan". These kind people have understood me and helped.

   In 3 days appeared though small, but the gleam in my life - I got expensive medicines. Now two times a week comes to me worker of "Home care" service, which helps to support cleanliness in an apartment.

   I am very grateful to everybody – "Joint" Committee, Hesed "Nathan" workers and personally to its director Anatoly Itkin for comprehension, for his warm heart. I bow low to everybody.
