Home care fund for Julia in Oakland
Julia can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $3,300.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States2,435 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After a diagnosis of dementia Julia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Julia 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.
Julia worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $550
• Part-time carer (three months): $2,330
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
