I'm caring for me, who's 91. After a fall and hip fracture 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 40 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 bus driver, 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 $2,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,750
• Medication and prescriptions: $420
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. Get well soon. Sent it to 29 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this, Scarlett. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Nnewi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of San 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. Love from Birmingham
Sending good thoughts, Scarlett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Guarulhos.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
