Care for Émilie, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Toronto
Help Émilie stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada2,875 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a stroke last June Émilie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Émilie 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.
Émilie worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 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 $5,500 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $550
Thank you for reading my story.
