Camille wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Camille stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇯🇲 Half-Way Tree, Saint Andrew, Jamaica3,578 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Camille can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Camille 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.
Camille worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $210
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $100
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Jodhpur this morning. Thinking of Half-Way Tree.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
