Care for Tammy, 90: help cover a carer and medication in Greensboro
Tammy, 90, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $4,550 for a carer and medicines.
🇺🇸 Greensboro, North Carolina, United States2,943 views
I'm caring for me, who's 90. After a heart attack Tammy can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Tammy desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Tammy worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $390
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
If you're reading this, thank you.

I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pretoria.
