Care for Nicolas, 78: help cover a carer and medication in Saint-Denis
Help Nicolas stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France3,203 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 78. After worsening Parkinson's disease Nicolas can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nicolas 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.
Nicolas worked all of his life as a farmer, and raised 2 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 $3,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $430
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
If you're reading this, thank you.

Take care, Jade. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Best of luck, Jade. Wishing Nicolas a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Jade. Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Saint-Denis.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Siliguri but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Siliguri
