Maud can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $3,200.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a fall and hip fracture Maud can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Maud 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.
Maud worked all of her life as a nurse, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $270
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,700
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 14 people at work. Take care.
take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Rotterdam.

Stay strong, Ellen. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
Stay strong, Ellen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Rotterdam.
