Care for Kelly, 76: help cover a carer and medication in Olinda
Help Kelly stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world1,485 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Kelly can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kelly 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.
Kelly worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $170
With deep gratitude,
Eduardo

Wishing Kelly a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Eduardo. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Eduardo. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Mumbai.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Olinda.
