Home care fund for Emery in Los Angeles
Emery can't afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we're asking for $5,050.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,688 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a heart attack Emery can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emery 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.
Emery worked all of her life as a seamstress, 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 $5,050 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $380
Thanks for reading all this.

shared this with my family. My neighbor in Tucson donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Tucson
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emery
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. hospital bed and mattress rental comes first ($220) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
wishing you the best, Craig. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Love from Guarulhos.
Sending strength, Craig. Wishing Emery a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Macon.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nagpur.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Wishing you the best, Craig. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
Thinking of you, Craig. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Nuremberg.
wishing you the best, Craig. Shared it with a few friends.
This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Los Angeles
hope it all works out, Craig. Get well soon. All the best

Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Savar.
