Abigail wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Abigail can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $750.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a fall and hip fracture Abigail can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Abigail 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.
Abigail worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $750 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95
• Part-time carer (six months): $580
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
With deep gratitude,
Yvonne

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Sylhet
