Care for Janet, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Manchester
Janet, 84, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $2,900 for a carer and medicines.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom735 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a fall and hip fracture Janet can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Janet 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.
Janet worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $2,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,750
• Medication and prescriptions: $480
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
