Care for Ingrid, 85: help cover a carer and medication in Braunschweig
Ingrid, 85, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $4,900 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Ingrid can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ingrid desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Ingrid worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $670
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450
With deep gratitude,
Felix
