Manon wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Manon can't afford the care She needs after a fall and hip fracture; we're asking for $5,400.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 93. After a fall and hip fracture Manon can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Manon 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.
Manon worked all of her life as a farmer, 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $5,400 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $660
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $280
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,460
Thank you for reading my story.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Nottingham but we're thinking of you
how is Manon doing now?
best of luck, Clémence. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Limoges.
hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Palermo.
Thinking of you and your family, Clémence. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from São Paulo.
