Amber wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Amber can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $5,550.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Amber can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Amber 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.
Amber worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $580
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you, Cora. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Cora. Wishing Amber a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. All the best.
praying for you, Cora. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Cora. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Cora. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Leeds.
