I'm caring for me, who's 96. After the death of her spouse Georgia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Georgia 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. Georgia worked all of her life as a nurse, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,700 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $1,200 • Medication and prescriptions: $165 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $145 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190 I hope life is good to you. - Georgia

Updates from Georgia

  1. Update from Thessaloniki: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 52% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($503). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($152 in total) the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Georgia?

          Thank you. If you're in Thessaloniki I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
