Care for Claire, 77: help cover a carer and medication in Limoges
Help Claire stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world3,297 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After the death of her spouse Claire can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Claire 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.
Claire worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $400
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
With deep gratitude,
Agnès
