Home care fund for Olivia in Chandler
Help Olivia stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States2,380 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a heart attack Olivia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Olivia 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.
Olivia worked all of her life as a shopkeeper, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $450
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,950
• Medication and prescriptions: $350
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Lucy. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Hamilton.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
