Care for Mia, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Atlanta
Mia can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $5,750.
🇺🇸 Atlanta, Georgia, United States521 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a heart attack Mia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Mia 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.
Mia worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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 $5,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,900
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430
Thanks for reading all this.
