Genesis wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Genesis can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $1,600.

I'm caring for me, who's 81. After the death of her spouse Genesis can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Genesis 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.
Genesis worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $1,600 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $720
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $250
• Medication and prescriptions: $630
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing Genesis a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Stay strong, Genesis. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Winston-Salem
Good luck, Genesis. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Thrissur.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Södertälje.
