Kylie wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Kylie stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States3,133 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 89. After a stroke last November 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 25 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 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 three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $460
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $490
• Medication and prescriptions: $450
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
