I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a stroke last August Priscilla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Priscilla 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.
Priscilla worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $720
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $115
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Priscilla.
It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (three months) is the big one at $720, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you. Wishing Priscilla a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best, Frank. Wishing Priscilla a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Istanbul!
