Care for Adeline, 82: help cover a carer and medication in Newcastle upon Tyne
Help Adeline stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 NE12 5NJ, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom2,353 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a stroke last June Adeline can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adeline 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.
Adeline 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 six 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 $2,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $1,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
