I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture Evelyn can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Evelyn 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.
Evelyn worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $640
• Part-time carer (six months): $2,150
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
Thanks for reading all this.

hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal.
keep going, Evelyn. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Los Angeles.
