Home care fund for Isla in Ottawa
Help Isla stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Isla can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Isla desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Isla worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $4,250 goes:
• Part-time carer (six months): $3,150
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Medication and prescriptions: $870
Thanks for reading all this.

thinking of you, Nevaeh. Hope this works out for you. I hope September is when things finally get easier!
So sorry you're going through this, Nevaeh. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
