Stephanie wants to stay at home - help fund eight months of care
Help Stephanie stay in her own home with eight months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 78. After the death of her spouse Stephanie can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Stephanie 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.
Stephanie worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 4 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.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $3,300
• Medication and prescriptions: $660
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $230
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $410
Thanks for being kind about this.

Small update. $3,787 so far, we've started the first stage.
We're at 64% thanks to 51 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,072 in total) I made the first payment toward part-time carer. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care, Annabelle. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Negombo so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Sending strength. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
