You Know you are Poor when you Sleep on This

CAN YOU BELIEVE the folks who sleep on this bed are two university educated full time school teachers? This situation is unthinkable in "free" countries. This couple are among the brightest and the best.
Their "bed" is only 115 cm. wide but two adults have to sleep in it. The holes are only a part of the problem with beds in Ukraine. Many of them are like sleeping on a wooden table with thin padding between you and the table - they are really hard and crunch when you turn over in them. I was grateful that I took a memory foam pad or I would not have slept at all. There are a few that have beds that are better, but sadly, the hard ones are widespread. In fact, they are couches in living rooms that flatten out at night, serving double duty and having to be made up into couches every morning.
