Home care fund for Owen in Edinburgh
Help Owen stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom4,202 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 77. After a fall and hip fracture Owen can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Owen desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Owen worked all of his life as a seamstress, and raised 3 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 $4,650 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $340
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $165
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $445
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you, Jose. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless
hope it all works out, Jose. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Owen.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. part-time carer (three months) is the biggest at $3,700. Thanks for looking so closely.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Coatzacoalcos this morning. Greetings from Coatzacoalcos
Praying for you, Jose. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Sending love, Jose. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Edinburgh.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Stay strong, Jose. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Mardan!
Shared this with my family. Love from Macon
