Dignity in old age: caring for Florence
Help Florence stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
🇫🇷 France1,301 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After worsening Parkinson's disease Florence can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Florence desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Florence worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $900 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $240
• Medication and prescriptions: $470
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $190

Wishing you the best, Anthony. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
