Care for Katharina, 85: help cover a carer and medication in Berlin
Help Katharina stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany3,789 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a stroke last July Katharina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Katharina desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Katharina worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $3,700 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $400
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,550
• Medication and prescriptions: $750
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

take care, Luis. Shared it with a few friends
Thinking of you and your family, Luis. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Praying for you, Luis. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
