Dignity in old age: caring for Athina
Help Athina stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇬🇷 Athens, Attica, Greece1,793 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Athina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Athina 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.
Athina worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $1,850 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $190
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,370
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
