Home care fund for Scarlett in Bowling Green

Scarlett cannot afford the care She needs after a diagnosis of dementia; we are asking for $5,550.

Bowling Green
I'm caring for my mother, who's 91. After a diagnosis of dementia Scarlett can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Scarlett 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. Scarlett worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $5,550 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $4,750 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $370 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $430 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
