Home care fund for Clara in Leeds
Help Clara stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,199 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 81. After a stroke last April Clara can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Clara 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.
Clara worked all of her life as a nurse, and raised 4 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 $4,000 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Medication and prescriptions: $660
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,990
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck. Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Dustin. I hope things turn around soon.
You're not alone, Dustin. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
