Aster wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Aster stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia328 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After the death of her spouse Aster can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Aster 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.
Aster 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 $450 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $290
• Medication and prescriptions: $80
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $50
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Bethlehem. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Gondar.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aster
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (six months) is the biggest at $290. Thanks for asking.
praying for you, Bethlehem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Gothenburg this morning. Thinking of Gondar.

Thank you. If you're in Gondar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
