I'm caring for my father, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Rainer can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rainer 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.
Rainer worked all of his life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $850
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Maximilian
Small update. $453 so far, I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($313 in total) I made the first payment toward medication and prescriptions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
