Kylie wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Kylie can't afford the care She needs after a stroke last March; we're asking for $3,100.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 77. After a stroke last March Kylie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Kylie 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.
Kylie worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, 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 $3,100 goes:
β’ Part-time carer (eight months): $1,900
β’ Medication and prescriptions: $630
β’ Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290
β’ Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $280
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon, Micah. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 3 people at work. Thinking of Nottingham
Rooting for you, Micah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from London.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Nottingham
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to KadΔ±kΓΆy so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Nottingham.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Chiang Mai
