Home care fund for Sophie in Allentown
Sophie can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $4,350.
🇺🇸 United States4,379 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After a fall and hip fracture Sophie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Sophie 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.
Sophie worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $620
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $580
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there, Emma. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
so sorry you're going through this, Emma. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Durban donated after I showed her your page
you're not alone, Emma. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.

Hang in there, Emma. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Ribeirão Preto
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
