Dignity in old age: caring for Jackson
Help Jackson stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States1,649 views
I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a heart attack Jackson can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Jackson desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Jackson worked all of his life as a factory worker, 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,950
• Medication and prescriptions: $780
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
