Marc cannot afford the care He needs after a heart attack; we are asking for $3,150.

Lille
I'm caring for me, who's 91. After a heart attack Marc can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marc 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. Marc worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $3,150 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $2,300 • Medication and prescriptions: $250 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310 Thanks for being kind about this. - Marc

    thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Akinyi Eunice Ngowi

      this could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Take care.

      • Valentina K. Díaz

        Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Lille.

        • Trang Dang

          Thinking of you, Marc. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

            Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning.
