Care for Adam, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Warsaw
Adam cannot afford the care He needs after worsening Parkinson's disease; we are asking for $1,750.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland1,899 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After worsening Parkinson's disease Adam can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adam desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Adam worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150
• Medication and prescriptions: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Dariusz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Kharkiv
So sorry you're going through this, Dariusz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Bangkok this morning.
Best of luck, Dariusz. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
