Care for Kaylee, 85: help cover a carer and medication in San Francisco
Help Kaylee stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States668 views
I'm caring for me, who's 85. After a fall and hip fracture Kaylee can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kaylee 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.
Kaylee 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 four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $360
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $600
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Kaylee. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Reims so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Kaylee. I hope things turn around soon
