Care for Autumn, 74: help cover a carer and medication in Surrey
Help Autumn stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 Canada3,354 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a diagnosis of dementia 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 30 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,900
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260
Every share and every dollar helps.
