Care for Rima, 96: help cover a carer and medication in London
Rima, 96, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,050 for a carer and medicines.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom3,270 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a heart attack Rima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rima desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Rima worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $3,050 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $490
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,370
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
