Home care fund for Stephanie in Brooklyn
Help Stephanie stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 11213, Brooklyn, New York, United States1,650 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last April Stephanie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Stephanie 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.
Stephanie worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,350 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $4,500
• Medication and prescriptions: $260
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $340
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $250
I hope life is good to you.

Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bronx.
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. After 28 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
rooting for you. Hope you get there. Greetings from Nha Trang
Hang in there, Aurora. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
You're not alone, Aurora. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
keep going, Aurora. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
