Home care fund for Paisley in Bakersfield
Paisley can't afford the care She needs after the death of her spouse; we're asking for $4,500.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After the death of her spouse Paisley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Paisley desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Paisley 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,400
• Medication and prescriptions: $410
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $390
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $300
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
So sorry you're going through this, Jaxon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Knoxville so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Birmingham.
Praying for you. Wishing Paisley a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 19 people at work. Greetings from Medan!
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mbarara
Sending good thoughts, Jaxon. I hope things turn around soon. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
praying for you, Jaxon. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bakersfield.
