Michelle wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Michelle stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States3,208 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 90. After worsening Parkinson's disease Michelle can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Michelle desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Michelle worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 4 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 $3,300 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $2,050
• Medication and prescriptions: $590
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $220
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $440
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing Michelle a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Angeles.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Rawalpindi
get well soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Oakland.
Thinking of you, Isaac. Shared it with a few friends!
thanks for sharing this. Wishing Michelle a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
