Dignity in old age: caring for Everly
Help Everly stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Aurora, Illinois, United States2,668 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Everly can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Everly 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.
Everly 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 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 $4,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,400
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $320
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Get well soon. Greetings from Seongnam.
praying for you, Allison. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Aurora.
wishing you the best, Allison. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Aurora.
Thanks for sharing this, Allison. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Allison. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best!
