Home care fund for Courtney in San Jose
Help Courtney stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world3,057 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 84. After a diagnosis of dementia Courtney can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Courtney 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.
Courtney worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 2 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 $3,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,300
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $510
• Medication and prescriptions: $490
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Charles. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Sending love, Charles. Wishing Courtney a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
