Home care fund for Willow in Birmingham
Willow can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last February; we're asking for $2,600.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a stroke last February Willow can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Willow desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Willow worked all of her life as a farmer, 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 $2,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,450
• Medication and prescriptions: $520
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $450
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Best of luck, Savannah. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Da Nang.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Willow.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City
Good luck, Savannah. I hope things turn around soon. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Nnewi
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Birmingham.
Hope things get better soon, Savannah. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. All the best
