I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Agnès can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Agnès 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.
Agnès 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,850
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $540
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Anaïs. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Anaïs. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
hope it all works out, Anaïs. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
thinking of you, Anaïs. This could happen to any of us. Take care
Sending strength, Anaïs. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
