Dignity in old age: caring for Weronika
Weronika can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $2,900.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Weronika can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Weronika 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.
Weronika worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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 $2,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $220
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Weronika
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. part-time carer (eight months) comes first ($2,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you, Antoni. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
