Help Joyce stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States4,298 views
I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a fall and hip fracture Joyce can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Joyce 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.
Joyce worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $340
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace, Joyce. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Guarulhos.
what exactly is the $5,600 for?
Part-time carer (three months) is $4,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
hope it all works out, Joyce. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Brest.
Hang in there, Joyce. Hope this works out for you.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. It's not much but it's yours!
