Home care fund for Cecilia in Gothenburg

Help Cecilia stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a stroke last June Cecilia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cecilia desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Cecilia worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $5,500 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $4,550 • Medication and prescriptions: $280 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $370 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300 I hope life is good to you. - Jonas

              Hope it all works out, Jonas. Wishing Cecilia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
