Care for Kaan, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Amsterdam
Help Kaan stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands1,194 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Kaan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kaan 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.
Kaan worked all of his 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 six 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 $3,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $500
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500
Thank you for reading my story.
