Home care fund for Corinne in Mississauga
Help Corinne stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world4,310 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 92. After a fall and hip fracture Corinne can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Corinne 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.
Corinne 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 six months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,430 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending love, Delphine. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Dharan this morning.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Rooting for you, Delphine. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
Thinking of you, Delphine. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Regina
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Milan!
praying for you, Delphine. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Likoni but we're thinking of you.
