Allison wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Allison stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Laredo, Texas, United States2,720 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Allison can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Allison desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Allison worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $4,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $610
• Medication and prescriptions: $710
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,780
If you're reading this, thank you.
