Home care fund for Petra in Essen

Help Petra stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.

Essen
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After worsening Parkinson's disease Petra can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Petra desperately wants to stay at home. I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Petra worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $3,750 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $430 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260 • Part-time carer (three months): $3,060 Thanks for being kind about this.

    So sorry you're going through this, Horst. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
