Care for Elias, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Nuremberg

I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After a heart attack Elias can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Elias desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Elias worked all of his life as a seamstress, 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 $5,500 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $280 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170 Thank you for reading my story. - Charlotte
