Home care fund for Céline in Amiens
Céline cannot afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we are asking for $4,550.
🇫🇷 Amiens, Hauts-de-France, France250 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a heart attack Céline can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Céline 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.
Céline worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 3 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Martine
Good news. Because of your gifts ($259 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $140 raised so far (3%). I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Sending love, Martine. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
