Dignity in old age: caring for Günter
Günter can't afford the care He needs after a stroke last July; we're asking for $3,050.
🇩🇪 Lower Saxony, Germany1,678 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 79. After a stroke last July Günter can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Günter desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Günter worked all of his life as a farmer, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,200
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Medication and prescriptions: $610
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Leon. Shared this with my family
