Home care fund for Cynthia in Bristol
Cynthia can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $4,000.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom1,245 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After the death of her spouse Cynthia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cynthia 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.
Cynthia worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $4,000 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $2,550
• Medication and prescriptions: $550
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550
I hope life is good to you.

best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Phoenix donated after I showed her your page.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cynthia.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (eight months) is the biggest at $2,550. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there, Isaac. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. God bless.
sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Bristol.
best of luck, Isaac. Shared this with my family
