Care for Khady, 84: help cover a carer and medication in Boulogne-Billancourt
Help Khady stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a heart attack Khady can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Khady 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.
Khady worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 3 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 $4,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,630
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
