Regina wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Regina, 95, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $5,400 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a fall and hip fracture Regina can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Regina 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.
Regina 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 three 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 $5,400 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $4,200
• Medication and prescriptions: $470
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $200
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $530
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope you get there. Thinking of San Antonio!
How is Regina doing now?
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Take care
Thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Toulon so I could bring a meal. All the best
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ekurhuleni.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Chennai.
