Home care fund for Marta in Bahir Dar
Help Marta stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for me, who's 87. After the death of her spouse Marta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Marta 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.
Marta worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight 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 $800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $650
• Medication and prescriptions: $85
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $25
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

Stay strong, Marta. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Love from Melbourne.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bahir Dar.
Thank you. If you're in Bahir Dar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Cầu Giấy.
Wishing you peace, Marta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Love from Zagazig.
so sorry you're going through this, Marta. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Best of luck, Marta. Shared it with a few friends. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
