Stella wants to stay at home - help fund four months of care
Help Stella stay in her own home with four months of part-time care.
🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom2,333 views
I'm caring for my mother, who's 76. After a heart attack Stella can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Stella desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Stella worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 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.
The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices.
Where the $5,900 goes:
• Part-time carer (four months): $4,700
• Medication and prescriptions: $750
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $270
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you, Kevin. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Coventry.
Sending strength, Kevin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Johannesburg
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Kevin. Wishing Stella a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
you're not alone, Kevin. Shared it with a few friends.

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Onitsha
