Dignity in old age: caring for Émilie
Help Émilie stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇫🇷 Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France2,481 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a heart attack Émilie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Émilie 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.
Émilie worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $520
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,940
Thanks for being kind about this.

praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
how is Émilie doing now?
Take care, Jean. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Thinking of you. Get well soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
so sorry you're going through this, Jean. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Lyon.
Rooting for you. Wishing Émilie a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
