Home care fund for Zuzanna in Gdańsk

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

Gdańsk
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a diagnosis of dementia Zuzanna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Zuzanna 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. Zuzanna worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $2,250 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,700 • Medication and prescriptions: $320 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $120 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
