Care for Hannah, 85: help cover a carer and medication in Los Angeles
Help Hannah stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United StatesPosted Feb 10, 20261,537 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 85. After a heart attack Hannah can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Hannah 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.
Hannah worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $510
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
Glad we found this place.
