Home care fund for Avery in Knoxville
Help Avery stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world739 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 79. After a diagnosis of dementia Avery can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Avery 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.
Avery worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 3 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 $1,250 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $720
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $260
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
