Danielle, 82, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $4,450 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for me, who's 82. After a fall and hip fracture Danielle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Danielle 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.
Danielle worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $470
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,550
• Medication and prescriptions: $430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Petrópolis!
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
thinking of you and your family, Danielle. Get well soon. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Sending love, Danielle. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
