Care for Lamia, 75: help cover a carer and medication in Leicester
Help Lamia stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Leicester, England, United Kingdom2,109 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a stroke last April Lamia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lamia 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.
Lamia worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
Thank you for reading my story.
