Home care fund for Erdem in Düsseldorf
Help Erdem stay in his own home with six months of part-time care.
🇩🇪 Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany3,208 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 75. After the death of his spouse Erdem can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Erdem 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.
Erdem worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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 $4,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $4,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $270
Thank you for reading my story.
