Olivia wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Olivia stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 California, United States3,065 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a stroke last October Olivia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Olivia 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.
Olivia worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Medication and prescriptions: $680
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $380
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Alexa
Small update. $818 so far, the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($365). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward mobility aids and bathroom adaptations.

wishing you peace, Alexa. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
take care, Alexa. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Timișoara but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Alexa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Alexa. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
