Home care fund for Janet in San Diego

Janet, 94, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $5,600 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a fall and hip fracture Janet can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Janet 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. Janet worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $5,600 goes: • Part-time carer (four months): $4,450 • Medication and prescriptions: $470 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $460 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Skylar

    Wishing you peace. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
