Home care fund for Johanna in Cologne
Johanna cannot afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $4,900.
🇩🇪 Germany2,708 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Johanna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Johanna desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Johanna worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $4,900 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
If you're reading this, thank you.

praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
praying for you, Bernd. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Sacramento but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Sacramento.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Dundee.
Hope it all works out, Bernd. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Wishing you peace, Bernd. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Bernd. Hope the doctors have good news. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal.
