Faith wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care

Faith, 79, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $750 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a fall and hip fracture Faith can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Faith desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Faith 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 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 $750 goes: • Medication and prescriptions: $70 • Part-time carer (three months): $590 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Herman

    So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Boulogne-Billancourt so I could bring a meal.

                  Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Kasarani.
