Home care fund for Alice in Leicester
Help Alice stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 LE16 9AN, Leicester, England, United Kingdom492 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a diagnosis of dementia Alice can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Alice 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.
Alice worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,250
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
Thank you so much.

Update from Leicester: the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 0% now ($19). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
0% there. I met with the care agency and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
