Clodagh wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care
Help Clodagh stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world984 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a diagnosis of dementia Clodagh can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Clodagh 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.
Clodagh worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six 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 $1,100 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Medication and prescriptions: $520
With deep gratitude,
Mairead

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Austin
