Megan can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $3,450.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Megan can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Megan 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.
Megan worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $900
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $260
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $290
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Everly. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Durham.
Take care, Everly. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Chennai.
