Home care fund for Emily in Louisville
Emily cannot afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we are asking for $4,100.
🇺🇸 Kentucky, United States2,616 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 86. After the death of her spouse Emily can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Emily 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.
Emily worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 3 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 $4,100 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,900
• Medication and prescriptions: $740
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love, Lawrence. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bellevue.
Hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Keep going, Lawrence. Shared this with my family
Hang in there, Lawrence. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Stay strong, Lawrence. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Los Angeles.
Hope you get there. Greetings from Erie.
You're not alone, Lawrence. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you the best. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Louisville.
