Allison wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Allison stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world970 views
I'm caring for me, who's 87. After a fall and hip fracture 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 seamstress, 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 $3,700 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,100
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $190
I hope life is good to you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bristol.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about mobility aids and bathroom adaptations, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you and your family, Allison. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Bristol.
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Allison a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
