Home care fund for Charlotte in Birmingham
Charlotte can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $4,750.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom6,792 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 87. After a fall and hip fracture Charlotte can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Charlotte desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Charlotte worked all of her life as a carpenter, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $440
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $170
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
