Care for Eva, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Eindhoven
Help Eva stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a heart attack Eva can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eva desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Eva worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $1,250 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470
• Medication and prescriptions: $480
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Lars. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
wishing you the best, Lars. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Rooting for you, Lars. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
