Riley wants to stay at home - help fund three months of care
Help Riley stay in her own home with three months of part-time care.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States6,577 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 88. After a stroke last February Riley can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Riley 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.
Riley worked all of her life as a bus driver, 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 $6,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $5,000
• Medication and prescriptions: $760
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $440
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $400
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Los Angeles
You're not alone, Beau. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Beau. Hope the doctors have good news. All the best.
