Dignity in old age: caring for Geneviève

Geneviève, 86, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,000 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After the death of her spouse Geneviève can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Geneviève 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. Geneviève worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 3 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $3,000 goes: • Part-time carer (three months): $1,900 • Medication and prescriptions: $540 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310 Every share and every dollar helps.

      Good luck, Aurélie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Muzaffarpur.
