[Cz-L] RE: Help the elderly members of the Jewish community on Cz!

A lot of time, funds and attention is spent in Chernivtsy looking
after the dead members of the Jewish community and preserving and
discussing the past. But what about people who are still living there
and need help?
 Yesterday I had a heartbreaking conversation with my cousin who looks
after my aunt with dementia. He shared that the help they are
receiving from the Jewish welfare organisation is only a couple of
hours once a week while my aunt is now reached the point where she
cannot be left alone.
My cousin is not well himself suffering from anxiety and depression
but he has to spend with his 84 yrs old mother (survivor of 1941
transportation to Siberia born in Hlyboka) most hours of the day, from
8.30am till 11.50pm-12am. He also gave me names of other people in a
similar or even in worth situations, many of whom are local
Bukoviners.
According to my cousin, the welfare situation is much better in other
Jewish communities throughout Ukraine where the disabled members are
able to get daily help.
He says that welfare assistance is funded by the Jewish Welfare fund
-Hesed and blames its representative in Chernivtsy, Mr Fuchs, for the
unbearable situation the disabled /elderly people in Cz and their
families are experiencing.
Can anyone look into this?
Does anyone has firsthand knowledge of who funds Hesed in Cz; how
funds are distributed and what's happening there?
