Claudia wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Claudia cannot afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we are asking for $850.

I'm caring for me, who's 91. After the death of her spouse Claudia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Claudia 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.
Claudia worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $850 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $120
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $75
• Part-time carer (eight months): $655
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
