Home care fund for Marcel in Rotterdam
Marcel can't afford the care He needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $4,100.
🇳🇱 South Holland, Netherlands1,174 views
I'm caring for me, who's 87. After a diagnosis of dementia Marcel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marcel desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Marcel worked all of his life as a nurse, and raised 5 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 $4,100 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $670
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
- Marcel

Sending love, Marcel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Campinas
Thinking of you, Marcel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Rotterdam
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 32 people at work.
Wishing you the best, Marcel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Riverside so I could bring a meal. All the best
