I'm caring for my mother, who's 82. After a heart attack Ulla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Ulla 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. Ulla worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $5,700 goes: โ€ข Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250 โ€ข Part-time carer (eight months): $4,950 โ€ข Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500 With deep gratitude, Hanna

  • how is Ulla doing now?

    • Good luck, Hanna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 21 people at work. Greetings from Quezon City.

        Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care

        • Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gothenburg!

            Thank you. If you're in Gothenburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

        • Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Gothenburg.

              Shared this with my family. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

              • Bruno M. รlvarezQuestionPhoto verified

                Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ulla

                • Hanna FranssonOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

                  Hospital bed and mattress rental is $250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

              • Thanks for sharing this, Hanna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

                • keep going. Get well soon. Blessings.

                  • Thinking of you and your family, Hanna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

                    • Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. God bless

                      • So sorry you're going through this, Hanna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dhaka.
