Dignity in old age: caring for Evi
Help Evi stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world5,197 views
I'm caring for me, who's 95. After worsening Parkinson's disease Evi can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Evi 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.
Evi worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,300 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,490
With deep gratitude,
Evi

your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Dhaka!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Evi
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Dublin this morning.
Thanks for sharing this, Evi. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care!
