Care for Adalynn, 95: help cover a carer and medication in Denver
Help Adalynn stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Denver, Colorado, United States1,304 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a diagnosis of dementia Adalynn can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adalynn 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.
Adalynn worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $3,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $740
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170
I hope life is good to you.
