Care for Romane, 86: help cover a carer and medication in Tangier

I'm caring for me, who's 86. After a fall and hip fracture Romane can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Romane 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. Romane worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,050 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $780 • Medication and prescriptions: $130 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $45 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
