Boulogne-Billancourt
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. - Awa
