Надежда ТодороваA good work is being done by the Metropolitanate in Kalamaria. I especially liked that they accept people with more than 35% disability, regardless of age and whether they are independent. I will share with an acquaintance, she probably needs such a place for her brother.

Марина БогдановаIt’s a good thing, especially that they take people with disabilities from 35% and regardless of age or whether they can take care of themselves. We have few such centers in Yekaterinburg, but here they also help you get a voucher from the state. Thank you for telling me, Nadezhda, I will tell my friends.

Христо ДимитровIt's good that you will share with your acquaintance, Nadezhda. They really do accept any cases above 35%, even if the guy doesn't get better on his own - your girlfriend's brother might fit the bill. I have heard that the staff there are very patient, especially with the elderly.

Величка ТодороваYes, that's right, Christ, good thing I mentioned to Nadezhda - her brother is indeed over 35% eligible and not on his own. As for me, I was passing by Miaoúlhi last week and seeing how peaceful it looks from the outside, I even thought of asking about embroidery as therapy. How did you hear about the staff's patience with the elderly?

Антон КузнецовYes, Marina, it’s good that they charge 35% and without the requirement of self-service - this really helps families who are at a dead end. In Yaroslavl we can also count such centers on one hand; it’s not always easy to get a voucher. Have you already tried calling your friends there on their number 2310 430083?

Илья ЗайцевIt’s good that Marina noted about 35% and the absence of a requirement for self-service - this is truly rare. Here in Yaroslavl it’s also difficult; I myself have helped my friends get papers for similar centers a couple of times. Have you already passed on your contact information to those who need it, or are you still thinking about it?

Николай СоколовThank you, Ilya, for sharing about Yaroslavl. Here in Krasnodar, too, it often comes down to this very 35% and certificates - without them they don’t even start a conversation. Have you already been able to help your friends with paperwork or are they still running around the authorities?

Георгий ПавловYes, Anton, exactly 35% and without self-service is the main thing. Here in Krasnodar we also struggle with vouchers, the queue lasts for months. Have you tried calling their number 2310 430083 yourself or are you just giving advice?

Ксения ЛебедеваYes, Georgy, exactly 35% and without the requirement of self-service is the key point to help those who are really having a hard time. Here in Samara there is also a long line with these vouchers, sometimes they wait for six months. Have you already submitted documents in Krasnodar or are you just looking around?

Софья СмирноваHere in Minsk, too, there is an eternal hassle with this 35%; without a certificate, they won’t even open the door. Have there been any relaxations in your Krasnodar over the last year or is everything just as strict? My friends are still running, it’s been three months now.

Антон ВиноградовHere in Krasnodar, too, without this 35%, they don’t even listen to certificates, I checked it with friends. While I’m helping one family with disability papers, we’ve been going to doctors for three months now. How did you manage to get at least one certificate in Yaroslavl without hassle?

Илья ЗайцевYes, Ksenia, exactly 35% and without self-service is correct, so as not to weed out the heaviest. In Yaroslavl we also have problems with vouchers, but at least they sometimes get through the church faster. And in Samara, which center do you use, if it’s not a secret?
