Autumn wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Autumn stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world908 views
I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Autumn can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Autumn desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Autumn worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $210
• Medication and prescriptions: $350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $540
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Autumn. Get well soon. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Riverside.
hope it all works out, Autumn. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
good luck. Hope this works out for you. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Lahore.
hang in there, Autumn. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nashik.
