Home care fund for Rachel in Auckland
Help Rachel stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand4,138 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture Rachel can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rachel 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.
Rachel worked all of her life as a factory worker, 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 $4,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $3,950
• Medication and prescriptions: $250
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $310
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

take care, Riley. I hope things turn around soon
Praying for you, Riley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 30 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Cairo
