Dignity in old age: caring for Lina

Help Lina stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Lina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lina 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. Lina worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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 $1,250 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $175 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $350 • Medication and prescriptions: $725 Every share and every dollar helps. - Franziska

  1. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($165). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Munich: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
