I'm caring for me, who's 96. After a heart attack Markus can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Markus desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Markus worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $660
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $490
Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($378). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for part-time carer is now scheduled.
Update from Munich: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
