Care for Alyssa, 80: help cover a carer and medication in Austin
Alyssa cannot afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we are asking for $4,700.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States849 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a heart attack Alyssa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alyssa 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.
Alyssa worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,700 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,700
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Alyssa doing now?
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 13 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Leicester but we're thinking of you. God bless.
