Adi wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care

Help Adi stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a stroke last August Adi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adi desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Adi worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $4,850 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,250 • Medication and prescriptions: $430 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170 Thanks for being kind about this.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adi

    • Shai Eitan WeissOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is part-time carer (eight months), $4,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Jerusalem.
