Care for Jürgen, 79: help cover a carer and medication in Karlsruhe

Help Jürgen stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Jürgen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jürgen 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. Jürgen worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $2,950 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220 • Medication and prescriptions: $610 • Part-time carer (three months): $2,120 I hope life is good to you. - Franziska

    Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Awka.

        Hope it all works out, Franziska. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Anaheim this morning. Love from Anaheim!

          Best of luck, Franziska. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

            hang in there, Franziska. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
