Care for Shima, 92: help cover a carer and medication in Leicester
Shima can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $3,400.
🇬🇧 Leicester, England, United Kingdom423 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After the death of her spouse Shima can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Shima 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.
Shima worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 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 $3,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,650
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $185
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $235
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
