Julieta wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Julieta stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 United States531 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a fall and hip fracture Julieta can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Julieta desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 50 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Julieta worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $650
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $380
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $520

Best of luck, Aarón. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 5 people at work.
