Home care fund for Autumn in Cardiff
Autumn, 85, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $3,100 for a carer and medicines.
🇬🇧 Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom3,141 views
I'm caring for me, who's 85. After worsening Parkinson's disease Autumn can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Autumn 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.
Autumn worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,400
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Autumn!
Best of luck, Autumn. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Salé.
best of luck, Autumn. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Love from Dwarka.
good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Cardiff
