Home care fund for Luna in Los Angeles
Luna can't afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we're asking for $1,150.
🇺🇸 California, United States961 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Luna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Luna 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.
Luna worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $1,150 goes:
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luna.
Hospital bed and mattress rental is $390 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
you're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
how is Luna doing now?
thinking of you, Adeline. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Nairobi
Sending good thoughts, Adeline. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Buffalo
Keep going, Adeline. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
You're not alone, Adeline. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Thinking of Los Angeles.
