Home care fund for Kaylee in Vancouver
Help Kaylee stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Vancouver, Washington, United States1,147 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a diagnosis of dementia Kaylee can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kaylee 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.
Kaylee worked all of her life as a seamstress, and raised 5 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 $5,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,800
• Medication and prescriptions: $320
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $480
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

How is Kaylee doing now?
Keep going. Wishing Kaylee a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Naivasha donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Vancouver.
Sending strength, Benjamin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Stay strong, Benjamin. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Rochester
