Inna wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Inna stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
Anywhere in the world1,810 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 94. After a fall and hip fracture Inna can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Inna 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.
Inna worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $1,750
• Medication and prescriptions: $330
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $350
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $420
I hope life is good to you.

sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Milan.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Inna
Part-time carer (four months) is $1,750 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Wishing Inna a smooth procedure and a full recovery
best of luck. Hope you get there. Sent it to 15 people at work. Take care.
Rooting for you, Dmitry. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
