Care for Freya, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Gothenburg
Help Freya stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇸🇪 Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden1,153 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a heart attack Freya can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Freya desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Freya worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $440
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $195
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $465
If you're reading this, thank you.

You're not alone, Arvid. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Lille
