Care for Lauren, 89: help cover a carer and medication in Manchester
Help Lauren stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 89. After a fall and hip fracture Lauren can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Lauren 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.
Lauren worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $290
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $140
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $470
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lauren.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Cleveland.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Wishing you the best, Lauren. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Mysuru.
good luck, Lauren. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you, Lauren. Wishing Lauren a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Hamilton.
