Annabelle wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Annabelle stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States2,795 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Annabelle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Annabelle 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.
Annabelle worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,760
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope you get there. After 10 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Rooting for you, Danielle. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care
Good luck, Danielle. Hope the doctors have good news
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Birmingham
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Hamilton but we're thinking of you.
