Home care fund for Emil in Leipzig
Help Emil stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇩🇪 Germany1,205 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a stroke last July Emil can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emil 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.
Emil worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $2,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,850
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $330
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $320
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted.
Any update on how things are going in Leipzig?
Praying for you, Jana. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Emil?
Thank you. If you're in Leipzig I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone, Jana. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emil
Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (three months), $1,850. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
take care. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going. Get well soon. My neighbor in Jodhpur donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Wishing Emil a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Good luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Medan donated after I showed her your page.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Mysuru but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Leipzig.
Rooting for you. Wishing Emil a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Praying for you, Jana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
