Home care fund for Marc in Toulon
Marc can't afford the care He needs after the death of his spouse; we're asking for $4,800.

I'm caring for my father, who's 86. After the death of his spouse Marc can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marc desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Marc 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 eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $690
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $180
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Toulon.
hope this works out for you. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Lyon but we're thinking of you.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Berlin.
Good luck, Benoît. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dhaka.
Sending good thoughts, Benoît. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
