Help Emery stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 78. After a fall and hip fracture 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 25 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 carpenter, and raised 5 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 $6,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $5,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $680
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
