Home care fund for Autumn in Leeds
Help Autumn stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 LS2 7BZ, Leeds, England, United Kingdom2,764 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a fall and hip fracture 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 25 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 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $590
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $300
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out, Lucy. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Sending strength, Lucy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Kediri
Wishing you peace, Lucy. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless
Hope it all works out, Lucy. Get well soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Leeds!
