Wilma wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Wilma stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇳🇱 2036 GK, Haarlem, North Holland, Netherlands5,490 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After worsening Parkinson's disease Wilma can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Wilma 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.
Wilma worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $600
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Jasper. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I hope June is when things finally get easier. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Brasília
