Home care fund for Eleanor in Auckland
Help Eleanor stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world2,023 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a fall and hip fracture Eleanor can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Eleanor 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.
Eleanor worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 2 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $370
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $200
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,380
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Derek. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Kisumu so I could bring a meal. All the best
